Its one of those questions that every person will give you a different answer. Cheaper to leave motor idling for a few minutes before turning off key. They can get you into trouble if not used correctly.

I'd agree with this.
By the time you leave the motorway/open road and then quietly drive down your residential street to your driveway you aren't putting any load on the motor and it has a chance to cool a bit if needed.
