Iam sorry. I misread your statement. I was referring to coasting with engine off.

Shutting down your engine at a traffic light will probably save you some gas. When I lived in San Jose I specifically timed some traffic lights. Sometimes up to 5 minutes of red. But I still doubt that new/rebuilt starter is worth it.
