I can't think of a single useless act that uses more fuel per day than the laziness that is the proverbial drivethru.
Getting off my soapbox now.

Yes I have to agree totally with you. I also love the ones who call their hubby out in the parking before exiting the grocery store. They are the obese people who must be picked up at the door and can't walk to the car carrying their one or two bags full of pop, chips and twinkies.
