So much is talked about conserving fuel. For a little discussion on this see here -

The car-pooling idea was left out (maybe because it is not so practical).

I have always wondered, “Don’t we burn up so much fuel needlessly in motor racing sports?” The Formula One cars consume a lot of fuel for their acceleration etc. I presume. All this for our entertainment and vanity? Isn’t this an issue in fuel conservation?
Won’t stopping / reducing these (less purposeful) races save a lot of fuel?*

* - I say ‘less purposeful’, instead of ‘purposeless’ so as not to hurt the sentiments of the fans of the racing sport.
