Do you downshift and engine brake at every light, or just use the brakes?

My shitbox's brakes barely do anything so I smash that designated shifting stick like a champ.

I just coast to a lower speed and then gently apply the brake as I approach the stop, then depress slightly to come to a complete stop, ending with lifting off the brake just slightly so that the stop is smoother for my passengers.
After that, when able to move again, I let off the brake gradually and depress the accelerator in a slow and linear fashion in order to maximize fuel economy and comfort.
>>
I usually only use the brakes as a last resort, if I have room I just let off the gas and coast till I need to downshift.

>stopping at lights

Brakes, I feel like brake pads are cheaper than a top end, and engine braking generally only actually matters from a performance perspective.
>>
Usually a combination of the two because lol bike. Mostly brakes more, though cuz like this dude said >>17852922, Pads are cheaper than a top end.
>>
>>17852822
Sometimes I'll do heel-toe, but for the large part I just toss it in neutral and brake to a stop.
>>
>>17852857
>passenger is annoying
>about to come to a stop
>stand on the brakes
>>
>>17852822
I will sometimes heel/toe if I'm pretty sure it will change soon.
>>
>>17852822
I always toss it down. Pedals still feel weird on my new car so I haven't yet gone all the way down to 1st. Only down to 2nd once in a while.

But if there's a red light or an exit ramp or anything, it's an automatic 3rd.

>>17852822
I like to downshift and coast, also I love when the car pops and pops but that might be damaging to the valves over time...
>>
>>17852822
I coast in gear until about 2,000 rpm, then throw it in neutral and stop.
>>
>>17852822
If I think it might change before I arrive I'll go down the box but if I'm going to have to stop I'll just brake

My car has regenerative breaking.

>>17853654
That must be very helpful after it breaks.

Brakes only

When pads & rotors cost ~$90 per axle and last 20k-60k miles, there is no reason to use a multi-thousand dollar engine to do the job of the brakes. If you live in a salt state like me, you know you have to replace the brakes before they wear out anyway because rust.
>>
usually downshift from 4th to 3rd and then cost and brake for the rest

my nigga
I don't have many intersection nor traffic-lights, mainly roundabouts.
They are like branching, if I guessed correctly I won't stop thus saving fuel,
if someone step into at the last moment I've to brake, wasting precious fuel.

>When driving my bike, downshift unless I am on the tight track.
>When Driving truck coast from 50 to 30, then break.
