yeah i love putting my car in neutral on downhills or when i foresee a red light. I ride out my brakes a little more but so what. Downshifting helps save my brakes but i don't think downshiftings really a good thing unless you need that extra torque to accelerate past someone in the right lane.
Speaking of which, I hate slow drivers in the left lane. they should be massacred. I drive around them in the right lane, get in front of them, and go slow as hell to give them a taste of their own medicine. drivers talking on cell phones should be massacred as well.
