Stick shift vehicles are already way better on gas that automatic cars anyways. If you talking bout staring off driving in 2nd gear i'd advise against that plus you'd have to get your speed up from 0-10 to be able to pull it off leaving your yard in 2nd gear, otherwise you'd just choke off and also I dont see where that would help you save on gas when reving up causes you to LOSE gas and you'd have to, to get it into 2nd gear however this might not even be what your talking about so drop me sum feedback and I'll edit my answer accordingly.
