    Gonna affect your gas mileage spending more time at higher RPM...if that's something you're concerned about.

    Brakes are cheap and easy to replace. Transmissions less so. If I want anything to wear out, I want it to be the brakes.

    If you're talking about going downhill, not at all. The fuel injection system cuts off the fuel. If you weren't talking about that, disregard.

    Knowing what rpm range to keep the engine in can help with the mpg's. Instead of it hunting around for the right one or in anticipation of a up/downhill. Just don't drive around like an a**hat and you'll be fine.
