Actually, no.

Brisk but moderate acceleration with smooth driving will net the best results. if you are in a hilly area, try to lose a bit of speed on the up hill and gain it back at the down hill. When stopping, start early by coasting to a stop as much as possible. Try to conserve your momentum as much as possible, so if the light is red ahead, try to coast until it is green trying to not stop, but if you are going less than 10 miles per hour it might be best to stop and wait for the green.
