i usualy do both, mostly double clutch into 3rd and use engine and breaks to slow it till its close to idle then i put in clutch or take it out of gear. My dad told me when you are engine breaking you are getting as good or better gas milage as idle. Also the only time i dont engine break is in snowy weather because it can lock the tires up and thats not good.

i actually do the opposite for winter. i thought the whole point was the control that an mtx will give u. i'd rather go down a snowy hill in 2nd or 3rd and let the engine get me down the hill at a more controlled constant speed rather than trying to brake the whole way down and hope to not brake too much to cause the tires to lose grip and slide.

i usually brake to a stop in gear then when i'm kinda close i pop it into neutral. so some of u guys will sit at a light with the car in gear holding the clutch down? hope u dont get a tired foot holding the clutch pedal and then let the car lunge forward into the car in front of u after your foot pops up.
