Unfortunately, that's not most drivers. Using your engine to slow down your car puts unncessary stress on your engine and tranny. Every car by law is equipped with a device designed specifically for slowing down every vehicle. They're called "brakes". Its the left pedal in an automatic and the middle pedal if you have a manual.
