Money Saving Tip #145: Don't Rush to the Red Light

Whenever your foot is depressing the gas pedal, you are burning fuel. When you see a red light up ahead, take your foot off the gas, and coast. What's the point of rushing just so you can stop? Sure, we all want to be the first in line and we don't want anyone to cut in (think 1st grade), but doing so wastes money. You never know, the light may turn green by the time you get there and then you are already ahead of the game.
