A lifetime of rolling through stops will never save enough money in fuel to cover the cost of a single ticket. If rolling through a stop at say 1 MPH saves a puny amount of fuel, then rolling through at 55 MPH saves a ton. So we've got to decide on how fast we should blow through a stop to save fuel. It seems to me that speed should probably just be zero since that is the law, and you're just increasing risk from any point above that.
