Why bump? Just to save wear on starter motor?

That and to not burn fuel to turn the alternator to recharge the battery after that crank.
Back when I P&G'd I found that the Tempo could pull away cleanly from a bump start from as slow as 20 mph in top gear- but the 2.3 is a real torque monster. So my cycle was 20-60 all in 5th gear, traffic permitting.
