Hiya,

I have been doing this more often now, especially if I can see the lights in the other direction change to yellow (if I am at the head of the line); or I wait until the vehicle 2 or 3 ahead of me starts to move, and then I start it up again.

I look at it more from the stand point that it doesn't hurt my FE, that I have worked so hard to maintain.

Another thing I have started doing is pulsing at the top of a hill to start my glide at a higher speed. If you do this right, it gains more than it loses.
