If you are sitting at a red light you should be in neutral with the engine off. Even with it on it is better to have it in neutral and idle. A obd2 computer like a scangauge ultragauge or torque.

I have UltraGauge. I don't slow down fast enough with my engine on in neutral. My car seems to coast for quite a long ways. Shutting off at lights worries me about extra wear on the starter and ignition.

My car has DFCO so that's why I figured leaving it in drive would yield better results.
