I loved this New York Times article about how UPS eliminates left hands turns on its trucks and tries to do right turns in its GPS system, so that it can save a ton of gas and sitting in traffic not moving for any reason. (idling is it called?)

Here is the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/09/magazine/09left-handturn.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
