I try stuff like that but then I forget half the time so it doesn't work...

Does the pulling out in second gear save gas? I've been putting my auto tranny in second and when you pull out as long as you're light on the throttle it'll pull out in second gear...I know this time I got over 200 miles before it read below half tank but haven't filled up yet to calculate mileage.

the second gear thing is only for slippery conditions, less torque to spin the tires. take off in first, just dont gun it. most of what was said in that article is common sence, i do alot of it. i drive like a granny now, people hate driving around me, i usually do the limit or just below, detroit is full of speed deamons. lol
