Those brake rotors probably aren't steel or cast iron.
That's right. I hardly use my brakes even in "stop-n-go" traffic because of engine breaking and EOC. Certainly not heavily. My brake pads last forever.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
