Then you used your brakes and didn't coast through either?
If we look at the numbers, we'll see that coasting up to a traffic
light is a false economy. While the coaster may indeed save up to a
penny for his conservation efforts, those behind him who missed what
should have been their turn at the light waste two cents in gas
waiting for the lights to cycle.
Figure the guy worked at McDonalds for $10.00 per hour (16 cents per
minute) and he had to wait 2 minutes for the light to change. He just
lost 2 cents in gas and 32 cents on the job. It only cost him 34
cents to save the coaster a penny.
