There's no need to downshift through every gear coming to a stoplight.
And you're clutching in like a 100 feet before the light. Is that your normal driving style? You can clutch in much closer to your braking point, just get your timing right.
I usually downshift one gear, but sometimes maybe 2 gears if I'm in too high of a gear. And try and roll as slowly as I can towards red lights. This saves gas over approaching an intersection as fast as you can and then making your car idle in neutral, or rolling as you're doing it.
