California98Civic set up some sort of extra vacuum to keep more braking potential available during EOC (engine off coasting) with his kill switch. Might be worth a read.
If you keep it in lower gear above, say, 2000 RPMs with your foot off the pedal, your car goes into DFCO (Deceleration Fuel Cutoff Operation) where it uses absolutely no fuel, and uses the rotation of the engine to keep the vehicle from speeding up as much. Helps when going down steep hills.
