Put the clutch in and glide. If conditions are safe enough, cut the injectors and leave the ignition in the run position. Bump start in fifth gear--even down to 15 or 20 mph.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
