I think I rolled back a foot or more and the guy in tha back got scared... he flashed me his lights... since then, in this situations, I use handbrake gently, just enough to keep the car there until I have enough gas on.

This happens to me sometimes when I'm at a particular stop sign/light here in canton. When in auto/stop the car will roll back before the ICE can restart on moderate inclines. How to avoid it.....just roll up to the light or stop sign and as soon as you feel the auto/stop kicking in, release the foot brake to restart the ICE before you come to a complete stop. Better to let the engine idle for a minute than to roll back into the car behind..
Sometimes you just have to make necessary adjustments for safety's sake.
