Just an update re: open/closed loop. I checked today and sure enough it stays in open loop for about 15-20 seconds after startup even when warm. I'm still inclined to think that the increased fuel burned in that period due to open loop is less then the fuel saved by not idling at the light. This would be very hard to quantify though.
