I just slip the clutch longer than usual and everything is fine. the car doesn't roll back that ...

I think I lugged my car's engine once when I first started driving manual. I took a right turn really fast at 4th gear and then there was an uphill.

(and not use the clutch when the car is turned of...

The computer on my car showed the average of 41 mpg with A/C off. 37 mpg with A/C on. 98% highway driving. 2.0 Turbo engine, 91 octane Shell V-power used. for 100% city driving, I average about 8 litre/100km which ...
