Ok. I'm new here and this pulse and glide thing is very foreign to me, but I'd like to give it a try. I have a question,

When you shut off your motor do you bump start it or use the starter?

Are you not worried about excessive clutch wear? (or starter if you use that)

It is possible that this technique is just not for me because I have a lot of mechanical sympathy and am pretty much as interested in longevity of my car as I am with fuel economy. I put on a lot of km and I'd like my car to last a long time.
Thanks.
