I almost always come to a full stop. Only times I skip it are when people are racing up behind me, threatening to rear end me. I'll pull away about 3/4 of a second after stopping. If you stop and wait for 3 seconds people here in Georgia will honk the **** out of you and/or crash into you.

It definitely doesn't help my mileage having to get the 3300 lbs rolling from 0, but it does help in not getting tickets. You never know when a cop may be watching. 0 tickets in 6 years and counting. I have had police threaten to throw me in jail, and falsely accuse me of "stopping traffic and drag racing" when I had a motorcycle break down on a road without a pulloff, but that is a little different...
