She just has to drive slowly.

-Extra Fuel
U.S. airlines are spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on extra fuel because passengers weigh more than they did 10 years ago.

To lower their airplanes' weight, some airlines have limited the amount of food their planes carry, though they allow passengers to bring their own meals.
