If you lose speed to tire squeal, you're wasting gas.
There's one turn on my commute that's a sharp left at the bottom of a long, winding hill.

I sometimes squeal the tires on that turn due to the built-up speed of coasting the long hill, but since my engine is off when I hit the turn, and has already been off for over half a mile at that point, and stays off another hundred yards after the turn, I'm not really wasting any gas lol!
