Forced auto stop? If a car has start stop, why wouldn't one use it? If you mean EOC, then my engine off time surely makes up for it. Almost 2k right now. I guess if it all blew right now I could upgrade everything to premium equipment, and just redo it every two years.
If one properly uses their clutch, there is little to no wear. Instead of the constant shifting of an average person, one clutch use then engine off, then one clutch use back to where I was. Much better than using brakes, accelerating, and , many many shifts to be in the same position.
If your turns are resulting in death, please get an adult to take you to the police station. It is the only honorable thing to do. If your tires squeal, please put air in them. It will also help your fuel economy. It is important for me to use all of the tread on my tires, so I must keep an appropriate speed in turns.
Remember, outside apex outside! Go for as straight a line as possible, regardless if you are at turtle speed or murder mach one. I mean, death speed.
