    You would also do this momentarily (with automatic) when starting from a stop on a steep upward incline, like certain San Francisco street intersections. Get the gas going slightly while holding the brake, then ease off to move forward without rolling back. Because the guy behind you is always too close for comfort.

      Similar technique would be used for manuals as well. You’d heal-toe on a hill so you don’t roll back, same with downshifting and slowing down quickly to make a turn.
