well I usually just try the matching revs thing with the clutch, but unfortunately I have yet to figure out a way for my scanguage to continue reading stats with the engine shut off, so the one I want to measure most, whether you really have to be sitting idle for 3 minutes or more to make it worth shutting your engine off. But either way the clutching differences should certainly help to increase my efficiency, at this point I will be asking around to see what different people think about the wear I would saving the interworkings of my car by driving normal or certain other styles such as slip shifting. At the start of this thread though I was strictly referring to popping the clutch in the getting the car started aspect, because I have not found a way to make that transition smooth at all, what particular tricks are there to make that smooth, or is it pretty much the way it is?
