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.

thats crazy!

it was hard today on the highway to keep it under 70.. though not really hard, just gotta break the speed habit.. found this sweet spot were around 2300 rpms it cruises nicely at 68ish.. also one at 40..

scary how many little cars get pushed around by these huge pickups.. never saw it till I started slowing down..
