Ignition vs. Roll start?

I waste the money I save by hypermiling (which, honestly, is NOT very much... I added it up to maybe $150/year max) on motorsports entry fees!

I don't get extreme with it. I don't drive slower than the flow of traffic, and generally don't accelerate slower than they typical "slow poke", I don't run red lights, and... what was this thread about? Oh yeah... I don't shut off the ignition in my normal driving. To me, it's far more trouble than it's worth for daily driving.

As with many things, there are different levels of "hypermiling". Don't assume that everyone who does it is the extreme example. I do it merely to entertain and challenge myself in some way other than pushing the limits of the car's acceleration and handling ability on the street. Keeps me out of trouble.
