Interesting point -- and even though it's true, I wonder if most people's instincts would be the OPPOSITE.
Mine are.
And I wonder if in this case, that "wrong" instinct is sort of right.
When I'm in the SS, I feel like I'm "saving" the brakes by using the downshifts. Which makes no sense, as per what Bassem is saying.
But OTOH......if the downshifts don't wear down the transmission at all (which maybe they don't), then it really does "save" the brakes -- at no sacrifice of anything else.
