Also, I think one of the most overlooked ways of saving fuel economy on a vehicle witha stick shift - don't rev the engine up to get going, ESPECIALLY if you have a computer controlled car. GENTLY ease up on the clutch, and once it is all the way up and you're rolling, THEN give it gas. Doing the gas and clutch at the same time wastes a lot of energy as heat.
