WASHINGTON -- There is a way to save both time and gas when behind the wheel.UPS drivers steer with a strategy: right turns are the way to go.UPS dispatchers map out directions on tablets known as DIAD boards.

Every route is designed to take right turns whenever possible.UPS says left turns are less efficient because there is more idle time involved while you're waiting for oncoming traffic or a traffic signal.
