When I EOC my Civic, I don't even notice a difference in braking. I can stop it from 45 without even knowing the engine isn't running and providing vacuum.

If it didn't stop, I'd push harder on the pedal...then there is always that one handle next to the console, emergency brake???

I don't think the $$$ invested, even with used brakes, will overcome the benefit EOC provides. Unless of course there is a safety concern, when $$$ vs mpg gain goes out the window.
