push start vs electric start?

[1stToyota]

To prolong the life of your battery and starter, and to save big on fuel you should consider pushing your Yaris everywhere. Just get a couple of chock-blocks and rope and hang them around your neck for when it comes time to slow down...that'll save $$ on brake pads too.

Me, I'm going to strap a tow rope around my waist and attach it to the tow hook and drag my Yaris around town...I'll get my friend to steer and brake for me.

Seriously, if you're sooo worried about the starter wearing out, use it, now, for the 100k miles or more of life that it probably has in it, then if it starts to shows signs of failure, that's when I start worrying about push starting it if I didn't want to replace it.
