...I don't shut off the engine at stop lights (need A/C when it's 100 F outside), but I have been "sensitized" to the fact that GASOLINE is "...going away..." while no MILES are being traveled, because the MPG digits keep "ticking" downward...slowly at first (short light) then rapidly (l-o-n-g lights).

...didn't realize I could "hate" stop lights so much (wink,wink)!
