With todays Fuel Injection motors, you will use NO more gas when starting it back up when it is shut down. I'am not saying that you stop and start it every few minutes, but if you know you have up to a long light, shut it down. Even going down a long hill or seeing a traffic light in the distance, it pays to put it into Neutral and coast to the stopped traffic. Also try not to hot foot it from a stop. Gas it slowly and let up on the pedal to allow it to shift up into the next gear and then give it more gas. Getting into the highest gear possible quickly will also help quite a bit!
