Post Re: Daylight Savings Time, does it make sense?

Bob is right on the money. When it is light out people go out and spend $$$. DST is purely an economic function.

On a side note, the DST does help my commute. There are less people are on the road at 6:20am because it is darker out.
Darker Out = Less People = Less Traffic = Less Stop and Go = High MPG's
My morning commutes these past three days have been a relative breeze - only 75 minutes instead of 90 minutes.
