+1 why waste it. One vial will work fine without a starter. It'll just take a little longer to get going.

Ok then the n in not and the v in your quoted vile should have been capitalized.

Then let me ask you this. I have to brew tomorrow and would have to make the starter tonight. So it would be about 18-24 hours before pitching.
Is that enough time for it to be beneficial?

It may work, but it's not going to provide the best possible characteristics of the yeast.
Starters are not solely for short lag times.
Correct pitching rates, in my opinion, are of utmost importance in obtaining good beer.
