RE:"We (occupants of this planet) are wasting huge amounts of gas because of bad driving habits, and lousy traffic management in urban areas.

Is this difficult to understand?"
-----
I thought I addressed this before. Cities purposefully de- synchronize lights to SLOW the flow of traffic to prevent speeding. They add stop signs to slow traffic in residential areas.
As far as freeways are concerned...the constant on-ramping and exiting...slows traffic. Car pooling went out with the lead balloon. Gas went to $1 gallon, a lot of people went out and bought SUVs when the economy did well and you were saying how great that was...the economy...(Shame on AG you said when he hiked)
Now you are complaining "we" are wasting fuel?
Why is it always "we"! Scumbria when the hard decisions have to be made? Now thngs are getting a little dicey...and all of a sudden it's WE? Isn't that the Demo mantra? "We want your money so we can correct the problems "we" created"?
