zonker, regarding your comment on modifying the list to say its only worth turning off the engine if you will be idling for 10 seconds. The list already says that its best to turn off engine if you will be idling for a few seconds and the optimal time to keep the engine on compared to turning it off would vary between cars. Feel free to put the comment in the wiki but i dont think it is worth getting that specific in the ecomodder list page

johnlvs2run if you have a specific suggestion about shifting without clutch i am all ears, I can change the ecomodder pages as the admins (metrompg and svoboy) gave me and weatherspotter the ability to change these to align with the wiki.
I unfortunately do not drive a manual so i do not know details about gains from shifting without the clutch but if you start a thread on it and point me or weather spotter to it or if you write a wiki page on it we will get it put into the list.

Also for anyone else that has a new idea for the hypermilling or ecomodding list please let us know, i do not monitor these threads so feel free to pm me or place it in the wiki and if everyone thinks its worthwhile it will get into the ecomodder site lists.
