While useing your engine to slow down for a turn or stop may not increase your mileage, It will increase the life of your brakes, and if done PROPERLY will not wear out your clutch or engine any faster, Ask any truck driver! Synthetic oils in the engine may make a difference but .5 of a percent isn’t a lot of savings when it costs 2x the price.
Somebody said that CVT’s are better than manual transmissions, WRONG manual transmissions are nearly 100% efficiant, and CVT’s barely make 92% so you are throwing 8% out the window, If you have the option get an underdrive pully system for your car, I have a pickup and get 10% avg. better MPGs since I installed an underdrive pully kit. Install a free breathing cold air intake cold air is more dense than warm air therefore you get more power for same amount of gas = less gas to do the same job.
I get 24 MPG hwy avg. out of my 2wd GMC 1500 V6 5 speed, my wife can’t get that out of her Taurus.
