Unless you rev match perfectly your clutch gets a scuff when you put in in gear anyway, so you're basically asking, "Should I wear the starter and the clutch, or just the clutch" ... so just put it in 3rd or something and let the clutch up fast. (Smoothness is only a sign of efficiency when you achieve it by perfectly matching speeds, not by grinding the hell out the clutch to slowly engage it.)

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
