'93 Geo Metro EOC question

I have a question about my '93 metro's throttle body fuel injection system. My main concern is that I heard that instantly restarting an engine (stop light) with a carburetor will use more fuel than letting it idle for a few seconds and that direct fuel injected engines are the only ones that benefit from shutting off for a few seconds (disregarding starter wear). I'm 99% positive that I have a throttle body injection (aka TBI or CFI for fords) and I'm wondering since that was a transition from carburetors to fuel injection if it behaved more like a carburetor with regards to the restarting.
