Actually the process would be:

Speed up
Let off the throttle
Let the engine brake

Speed up

And if you're going to argue that the process above isn't more efficient then we have nothing to discuss.

I just bolded the statements that weren't true. There's only so much I can do here...

Any further posts from you I will simply cite which logical fallacy you are using rather than try to type paragraphs upon paragraphs to explain why what you say is inaccurate/illogical/false.
