How about Tiptronic?

I don't have a winter mode, but I do have a Tiptronic tranny that allows starts in third gear.

Anybody do this in a systematic way to determine if it saves gas?

I would think that a higher gear would allow you to keep the throttle open more. Just like short shifting a manual.
