These statements seem contradictory. Would you please clarify?

  • I find that switching the car off for the one minute or so of a light does not seem to really help much ( my trip average registers less than one MPG difference ) , and I feel uncomfortable doing that, so I don't use that trick.
  • One more thing that I found by using the SuperMID, is that a light that last around one minute cost me almost 2 MPG on my trip average.
