Do you downshift when you slow down or stop?

[Perfectlap]

I am very easy on my car on road & highway. I only brake when I need to. I lift to slow down. I rarely down shift unless its a tight turn where a blip is in order. I use the e-brake at traffic lights. I short shift until the needles are pointing 12 oclock. I get on the throttle gradually, never jabbing. I round my tuns to open out the curve, maybe it saves some rubber over constantly cutting sharp turns.
I've gotten in the habit of cranking up the AC if I hit traffic snd find myself idling for long stints. I check tire pressures every other gas fill up to ease up on suspension.

I go to neutral when approaching a stop and coast until I know what gear I'll be going into. I have gotten into down shifting through each gear on situations like off ramps where you go from 6th down to 3rd or 2nd and I know I will be continuing in a lower gear

But as everyone before me said, cheaper and easier to replace brake pads
