Yeah, YOU may save gas, but how often does shipping from wherever Amazon (or the merchant) has their warehouse to your house burn more gas/diesel than you save? Add to that the facts that A) Amazon doesn't tell you where they ship from (or at least I haven't figured out how) so you get (as I did just last week) a fairly common (but not available in my usual stores) item shipped from New Jersey all the way to Nevada; and B) Amazon just won't ship everything in one package. I ordered 5 books recently, which came in 3 shipments.
