NEVER drive down a slope in N as it wears out and burns out the gearbox. I read this in an article but cannot remember the exact source.

Frequent shifting will wear out the gear box faster.

This is true.  Coasting in N for manual is ok.  But it's a NO NO for auto, may ruin your auto gear box.

electronics nowadays is different from yesterday..... by just applying brake will virtually limit/cut off the fuel consumption to almost insignificant level @ short stoppages (traffic light, crawling conjestion etc)......
