I remember reading that all the night trains in a certain country would stop at the nearest station for 1 hour when the time is set back in autumn. Because a train can't arrive at its destination an hour early, can it?

I think the reason DST may increase fuel usage is because twice a year people get in their SUVs in the morning and try to figure out how to set their on-board clocks, while idling of course.
