Most of the cars that do that start using fuel again when the rpms reach somewhere near the normal idle rpm. The only times you should use DFCO is if you have mis-judged the distance to the stop light and are coming in too hot or if you are going down a hill that is long enough to build up too much speed. In the case of the hill, you may even have to start downshifting.
