Date Posted: 08:32:28 11/05/07 Mon In reply to: billvon 's message, "Re: What happened??" on 13:36:49 11/04/07 Sun I would like to see a study on how much fuel is burned up from cars waiting in drivethroughs. I'd bet the number would be huge. And, would there be move cars in the Mac Ds lot if they had to park. All that would happen is the cars taking up space in the driveup would be in a parking space for a short time. Net would be zero more vehicles or parking needed for them. Hell, they even have drivethroughs for condoms at social services. Yes, I agree the FREE MARKET is creating a change to more fuel effiecent vehicles but where I live people don't have the money to just go out and buy a hybred. They might when their existing vehicle becomes too old to maintain but that will take years. Things like drivethroughs and telecommuting for work at instant. Wheneve I mention that kind of stuff here people all laugh at it....it doen't seem to fit their leftist thinking. Many of these socalled environmentists really don't care about the environment...their real goal is political power and government control of our lives....with them in charge of course. >>You forgot getting out and pushing your car along.LOL >>I was serious about banning them. they are a major >>waste of fuel.
