How much gasoline would the U.S. save if we were all allowed to roll through stop signs at up to 5 mph?

Coming to a complete stop and then starting is a terrible waste of gas. Obviously full stops are necessary when another car has the right of way. But the rest of the time, when safe, we should be allowed to roll through at up to 5 miles per hour.

    I think it would save on gas but lets get to the real point. Why don't we all support mass transit and reduce car gasoline needs nearly all together. Yes, cars will still be needed but most people can take a trolley, bus, or train to work. (Any real gung-ho persons are welcome to bike, blade or walk themselves to their destination)

    Sorry, dont have any numbers of the reduction of CO2 that would occur but I'm sure its easy to yahoo/google it.

    You may save Gasoline, but sure will increase vehicular collision.

    makes sense except for blind corners where you cant see cross-traffic. oh and the other point that people are idiots and dont pay attention while they drive...well at least in CA.
