I do use engine braking a lot, all you do is coast in your current gear or shift to a lower gear and the car slows quicker, you have to be sensible and not shift too low and rev the engine too high.
I asked my father about this as he's a mechanic and he said the engine doesn't use fuel while engine braking on a fuel injection car, since when you coast in gear it turns off the injectors, but the pistons and the other engine stuff is still moving so it still sounds like it's running although quieter.
Are we both wrong?
