Ahh, then you're not talking about the engine braking in that it downshifts. You're referring to Toyota's vehicles versus other manufacturers. For instance, I've driven other vehicles where when you let off the gas on a downhill, the vehicle feels like it rolls completely free and begins to pick up speed. Toyota's don't do that. All the Toyota's we've owned will provide some resistance when letting off the gas (I prefer it this way because I don't have to ride the brakes on every single downhill...freeways included). So we were talking apples and oranges from your latest description.

As far as this goes, I guess it's a personal preference. While you may not like it, I certainly do. It may also depend on the terrain you live/drive in as to whether it's beneficial or not.

As far as the fuel flow being cut off, that was an accurate statement. It has been confirmed by numerous people that have hooked up their SCAN II gauges and monitor the fuel flow while driving.
