With the sensor plates, it'll likely only take a few seconds at most before it turns green, and for really short stops, ASS won't save you any gas. (And with half the sensor plates broken or miscalibrated, it also often means rolling forward to trigger a green light, but that's another issue.)
Anyhow, feel free to use ASS and anything else. But if you delay in getting rolling, people here aren't afraid of high-beaming you.

It doesn't delay you at all. And your car is faster than over 95 percent of the cars out there. If you are first in line there is no way you would be holding anybody back. If you dont' want to use something that saves you money that is fine but you don't need to make up reasons.
