you can just turn off the engine manually when at a red light, and turn it back on when you know it's about to turn green... from what the hypermiling pros say, the fuel used when cranking a warm engine is equivalent to about 7 seconds of idling... so if you're going to be idling for a while, it'll save you fuel. Of course, if you need the AC or heater, you might not be able to keep it off for long!
