Engine off coast. You should try it. Get an injector kill or flick the ignition and coast for whatever duration you like then when you want to restart just quarter clutch to jump the engine, then clutch back in to put the motor back into neutral and rev and shift to whatever gear you want. This way tends to abuse the clutch or starter less as you're rev matching more and using less clutch or starter.
I swear 75% of the Prius fe is just eoc coasting and eo at stop lights. The regen system helps a little too but mostly because its built so heavy you can run all your accessories with the engine off for a long time to be comfortable vs sweating my ass off in my civic.
