I didn't see another thread like this one so I hope there isn't one.

I'll start with what I've found:

When you're sitting a stop light with the Auto Stop engaged and lets say you wanted the engine running so you could take off quicker yet you still need to hold the brakes.... well you can just hold the brake with your left foot and tap the gas (quickly and lightly with your other foot) and the engine will start up and stay running until you're ready to go.
actually u can also keep it in the lower gear than drive and that would keep it from turning off at the stop light as well
