I have no interest in sealing up the brakes on any of my vehicles. You can't coast that long on some hills around here before you get over the top of what is controllable. We have steep hills some of which if you hit at 25 mph you will be at 65 at the bottom and there are some tight curves at the bottom.

I bet that warped rotors and increased pad wear cost more than the gas it saves.
