Welcome to EM! That's one of my theories. Overall, the "lights you miss" are made up for in the lights you slowdown to and/or coast through. I do think your *average* commute time will be longer, but not enough to warrant the price in gas. When it goes just right, your stress levels are lowered too.

If you get reallllllly hardcore, you figure out the timing of the lights. I am pretty sure that my lights change based on time of day, so I have never have done a study.
