The instant you see a red light from a brake light or the yellow/red light from a traffic signal - take your foot off the gas and coast. It's no use speeding up into a stop.

The same goes for approaching a stop sign.

Stop sign, Schmop-sign. The TRUE hypermiler looks waaay ahead and down the side streets, and doesn't stop if s/he doesn't absolutely have to :) Good luck explaining that to the cop who pulls you over, though...
