Something german and TDi. BTW, nice Android app.
EDIT: don't sweat the extra clutching from a wear perspective. I think that gets too much play. I have been in the same car with the same clutch for ten years. I have only been heavily hypermiling for less than a year, but it has generally been driven in city/suburban conditions--not highways--all the time I have owned it. In other words, it has had many many times the amount of clutching this same car might have had with a predominantly freeway driver. I am on the original clutch still. The car has 186,700 miles. I'm easy on the clutch, and maybe it helps. But I remind myself that the engineers designed these parts with a diversity of usages in mind.
