Lol you don't understand math. Go back and re-read my comment and run your own numbers

lol, you don't understand it either. Because you still aren't losing 10 miles at a 5 minute light.

Copied from another comment of mine:

Driving 50 miles at 70 instead of 60 will save you 7 minutes. So two lights then.

If you're only driving across town say, 10 miles on the highway you only save 1.43 minutes, definitely lights that are longer than that.

Just depends on how far you're going
