As so often happens, I get lost in the math and physics. So did we decide that its better for FE but worse on the clutch to start in second?

I found this thread by searching before asking the same question. I have much smoother starts in second and it seems to temper my driving through the rest of the range. I do about 300 miles a week, half hwy half city. I think I'd be interested in saving wear and tear on the clutch.
