What is the comparison of costs of replacing the brakes vs. mpg/money saved? Allegedly, I try that in my big truck when I'm empty or light and not in heavy traffic. GA overdrive @ 600 rpm is better than 0 trottle at 15-1600 rpm, right? And another thing I've thought about is that it's cheaper to replace the brakes earlier than expected because the fuel savings far outweighs the brake loss.
