Does it decrease your mpg significantly while on city streets?

I believe it does, or atleast seems like it. I have a 4 puck and since i have been getting about 30-40 miles less per fill up.

no it does not, not at all.

The clutch has nothing to do with mileage if it is holding properly. If anything you would get more mileage with a grippier clutch because it will grab quicker, and more energy from the engine will go to moving the car than heating up the clutch and flywheel.

There is no possible way a pucked clutch can lower gas mileage unless you are driving the car differently

It does not take more gas to get going or anything, just a better feel for the clutch.

i believe it does take a little more gas to get your car going though. if you have a pucked clutch and dont have enough revs when taking off, it won't catch right and you will then be on a bumpy journey. when i'm in stop and go traffic, i can't just let out my clutch or i'll end up slamming into the person in front of me. i, therefore, have to rev higher, just to be able to move slightly, without fully disengaging the clutch, and thus, shooting into the car in front of me. i just wanted to see other people's experience and if other people saw a correlation between the two.

thanks for the posts guys
