is compression starting(bump starting) the key or does that not have anything to do with it??

My take is that E_Off_C will always trump E_Idling_C for FE. If you're using a ScanGauge with EOC, then the increase in mpg per tank full will not register with the engine off. If you're coasting with the engine off--in neutral-- and turn the key on and start it, you'll use some fuel/energy to re-start. If you're coasting with the engine off--in gear-- and turn the key on to start it, it may not start if you're fuel is cut off (9999mpg reading on SGII). Don't think the starting has much impact particularly if you're coasting long distances.
Get a SGII if you don't have one. It will be helpful in sorting things out and will pay for itself after a while as well as entertain you.
