Be careful not to downshift into wrong gear. My Audi mechanic friend was rebuilding a transmission from a wrong downshift, rev limiter only works on the throttle rpms.

I love a good downhill (rolls down all windows) when I'm sweating in my car. I've even stuck my arm/hand out to slow down an extra mph when needed! Brakes are for emergency use only!

For those who said "why not neutral" because keeping your car in gear is infinity MPG and coasting in neutral at hwy speeds is "only" 200-400 mpg. That and most hills in my parts would put me to 100+mph in neutral.
