Great stuff! If I'm going down hill or on level road I often skip shift. 1st 2nd 4th 6th. If the car is rolling at 2 mph, I will stick it in 2nd and gently accelerate up to speed.i don't think starting from a stop in 2nd is a great idea, 2nd gear seems like the most abused and worn out gear in my older cars. And clutch wear will be heavier starting in 2nd.
I like the idea of trying taller narrower tires to lower the rpm.
