that may be another one of those things, given that I really don't have the experience and hypermiling is rather new to me, that I see it having a physical effect on the car later down the road that, despite saving the gas at the time, might negate or overstep the money saved just by how much the things take to fix...maybe daox has a better idea on the subject, but if your on the highway your having to start the car at say 50 mph so the starting it two gears above what you would drive at doesn't really work there, cause that would be 5th already, at least for my little 1.7L
