A while back I heard UPS (the brown truck) instilled a no left turn rule in order to save fuel consumption and time. This sounds like an interesting thing to experiment with.

Has anyone else done it? If so, did it help? How about some opinions?

I've been mapping routes that skips taking left turns on Google Maps in order to see calculated results. I don't see any difference...
