I have several things to add,bailout is well known around here for exactly that,but there are some problems.I have a low pressure thermostat cap,and a low temp thermostat,(I have scanguage2)my old driving temp was 183-186,now its 159-163,I have had no effect in fuel milage,I swear.
And we have talked about turning off the engine at a light,all it does is piss people off behind you,these lights are already to short in my state,GA,to try and always look at the light,turn your engine on,put it into gear,and then go,that takes about 3-5 seconds if your fast,10 seconds if your slow,now imagine if everyone in the line tryed this,maybe 3-4 cars would get past the light,this is a big waste of time,unless your a die hard hypermiler.
