Your clutch gets worn by driving it, far more so in
accelerating the whole car than in bringing an engine up to idle speed. much more mass and slippage there.
And your $0.01 is more like thousands of gallons. You are comparing the lifespan of a clutch to the gas saved on a single short coast maybe?
The clutch cost me ~$50 and a day, like once every 10 years. Compared to thousands of gallons saved over the same timeframe, it's a no brainer for me.
