The key to that revolution was a huge increase in average miles-per-gallon of the U.S. automobile fleet. If we had continued to increase energy efficiency at the same rate, the stability of Iraq and Saudi Arabia would by now be of minor concern to U.S. policymakers.

Between 8 and 9:30 p.m., Dawn Burleigh will cover the breaks of other shuttle drivers; between 10 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. she will join a fleet of two other vans in the on-call van service; and between 12:30 a.m. and 4 a.m., she will provide extended-hours service. In the past, shuttle service was interrupted at various times on all routes because of union contracts which stipulate a mandatory 30-minute “lunch break” in the middle of shifts. The breaks in shuttle service occurred between...
...shuttle interruptions during the hours in which the buses are heavily frequented with students leaving for their rooms from the yard. “We have filled the need to provide more services to students at a key time,” said David Harris Jr., general manager of fleet management services and shuttle services for University Operations Services...
