Why might a region chose to participate in daylight savings time?
- The primary argument in favor of Daylight Saving Time (more popularly known as Summer Time in Europe, Africa and South America) is the reduction in energy costs. Let's say for example that you awaken every day at 7 AM and that the latest sunrise near the winter solstice where you live is just before 7 AM. Let's say also that you live at a latitude where the sun is rising an hour earlier three months after the winter solstice. If you begin DST at that time, the sunrise time jumps to just before 7 AM again, which you don't notice because you sleep until 7. However, because the sunset is also suddenly an hour later according to the clock, you are turning on your lights an hour later every day than you would be without DST.
- A lot of people like having that hour of daylight effectively shifted from before they wake up to the evening so they may enjoy more outdoor activities in the evenings when the weather warms up.
- Many prefer driving home from work or school in daylight rather than in darkness.
- Another popular reason for a country to adopt DST is to stay in sync with a neighboring country with which they do a lot of trade and which observes DST.
The first reason given above is gradually fading away. Around the world, Edison-type incandescent bulbs are being replaced by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and CFLs are being replaced by LED lights, which consume a small fraction of the power consumed by incandescent lights of the same brightness. Meanwhile, in hotter climates closer to the tropics, public opinion regarding air conditioning continues to shift from "luxury" to "necessity", so with most homes using an extra hour of air conditioning in the evenings while their lighting cost savings fade away, DST will likely become a cause of higher energy costs in those warmer climates!

It is the time which has been used in most of Indiana for the past five years since it has started using Daylight Saving Time in the entire state. The reason that it is often referred to as "double-fast time" is because the entire state of Indiana lies geographically in the Central time zone, so putting in in the Eastern time zone, which is one hour ahead, effectively shifts about 45 minutes of daylight from morning to evening year round. By observing Eastern Daylight time (EDT), about 105 minutes of daylight is shifted from morning to evening, and the clock says about 1:45 PM EDT when the sun passes overhead in central Indiana, where by true apparent time it would be noon, which is why EDT is often called "double-fast time" in Indiana.

Most GM vehicles of that vintage set the radio in similar ways. Key on, radio off, push and hold the "Set" button until the time starts flashing. Push the scan button to change the time. If the scan button doesn't work, try a few until the time starts changing. I,m trying to remember cause i just did this, hit the set button and use the volume and/or tuning knob to advance, i think this is it, if not hit the set and try one of the other knobs, hope this helps
Benjamin Franklin first thought of the idea to have the opportunity to have another hour during the day to enjoy the sunny summer afternoons by moving our clocks an hour forward in the spring and to give the farmers more sunlight to farm. It means that you move your clock forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall.
