Trucks making local deliveries are welcome. Trucks cutting through town, not so much.
An idiot. Ban trucks from taking a shortcut that saves fuel? How do you square that buddy?
Ban trucks from local deliveries? Oh, yeah, lets use smaller vehicles that are much less fuel efficient per ton-mile at moving cargo. So that in order to get X tons of goods in, you make even more trips and burn more fuel...
Oh, I'm sorry greenies - am I letting facts, physics, and engineering get in the way of your emotional feel-good advocacy?
No, I just don't think you understand narrow streets.

Are you sure it saves fuel?
You have to take into account the speed, time (delays) and compare to longer highway route at a more efficient mileage.
I would guess the savings difference to be minimal.
