You're jumping to the end of the manoeuvre assuming you'll eventually be in second or first to move away.
But meanwhile you're coasting up to the lights in 4th, 5th etc., then the lights change and you're not in the right gear (let's say third) to accelerate away. Plus, back to the OP (as you're coasting) you're using more fuel.
Being in the right gear for whatever speed you're doing is what I was taught in the early eighties.
