When engine braking, the wheels/driveline are spinning the engine (RPMs go up), and as a result, the ECU does not see a demand for fuel. Now you've heard .
OK, I'll admit I'm wrong about that one.

However, I'm not wrong in saying that using engine braking will wear the transmission more than using brakes.
