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!
Neutral to coast, OK. But shutting it down and starting it up at lights can't be that great for the motor.
