Which method use higher fuel? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Stepping on the gas won't do you much good if you're in a line of cars that are stopped.

Sure, there are situations where you might need to floor it quickly, but those situations are usually at red lights when you're the first car, and there's traffic crossing in front of you. So stepping on the gas to avoid being rear ended means increasing your chance of being hit from the side from another cheeseburger eating Hummer driver.

Anyway, neutral definitely consumes less fuel than staying in drive. If it's a long light, turning the engine off uses the least fuel.
