I'm wondering whether it's bad to use engine braking? Around town sometimes I like to slow down a bit instead of braking when I know I don't need to come to a complete stop by shifting from D to S mode. My RPMs go from 1500 to maybe 2500-3000 rpm. I realize it's pushing the engine more but 3000 rpm is anyways common for regular driving, so is this really wearing out the engine significantly more than usual?
