Redistributing wear and costs
Hypermiling saves gas, but it saves and costs in other areas differently than ordinary driving techniques. I have noticed I never have to clean brake dust off my wheels any more. Breaks will last longer I guess. But I stress the starter and starter switch more. So I imagine they might need replacement sooner. What other areas of possibly redistributed costs are there?

Some suggest additional clutch wear from bump starting.
Shifter bushings and transmission shift forks from more frequent in/out of gear (p&g)? Engine mounts from EOC and bump starting? |
I wonder about engine wear. My vibe spends a lot of time between 1-2 thousand RPM. Rarely above 3,500. A few years ago I'd take it up to red line pretty often.
