I tried bump starting, after my starter died and it was alot of fun listening to my old man complain about bump starting the truck every morning when he knew I did the same thing at 3am everyday of the week. Another time I tried EOC and one tank was really good. Then I screwed up every attempt at cutting idling time on another tank and it was so bad I told myself I wouldn't try that till I got a gauge. I was so ticked mostly that I couldn't do one without the other on a tank and then try the other on the next tank. Weird. I don't fill up my tank or drive my truck now to do stuff like that anymore. Could have really helped when I ran a newspaper route. But I was shortshifting because I didn't have a tach, I was a newbie anyway.
