"Lost your brakes" as in, they overheated? Or you used them too many times and lost vacuum?
If they overheated, sure, that's a problem... if you lost vacuum, that's not a problem, you just use more pressure on the pedal... I do it all the time.
This post begs the question, of course, why were you in EOC down a mountain instead of DFCO where it would have caused less pollution (brake dust) and still not cost you any fuel?
You Know You're An EcoModder when you remember that safety
always comes before hypermiling.
