There is a school of thought about which is better for your vehicle, braking or engine braking. Some say it is less expensive to replace your brake pads/lining than to replace transmission parts.

There seems to be some logic to this, so I use my brakes more downhill than engine braking.

PhilD, your thoughts on this would be welcomed...
