Ok,think about this,you pull up to a stop light,best case scnario is it just turned red,you shut off your engine,your either going to have to keep looking to see if the light changes,or be beaten to death by the guy behind you waiting for you to turn your car on,put it into gear,and then step on the gas.You would not only be wasting your time,but everyone behind you,now think if everyone did this,can you imagine the kaos,alot of people will start to day dream,which we all already do,and we all are guikty of being late to leave a green light,those lights only stay green for so long.And if you believe in a computer theory,then you shold always leave it on,well certainly not turning it on and off when ever you hit a red light,you would wear out the starter alot faster then normal,and other things Im sure.Use common sense,not internet threads as a bible.
