Of course, we can also toy with the idea that it does help with fuel economy, but if Economics has taught me anything, it's that the opportunity costs simply aren't equal. Safety should never be sacrificed to save a few bucks here and there, especially when someone's behind the wheel of a 4,000lb murder weapon.
(You can see what kind of impression driving school had on me)
