what does that look like in practice?

Always highest gear that the engine can take, always engine brake, drive extremely foresighted, anticipate where you’ll likely have to brake and just let your car roll in high gear. There’s more. Some say it slightly wears your engine more, because it has to do more work outside of its optimal RPM but that depends on how far you take this.

Ah okay. That’s what I used to do when I had a car with a manual transmission, didn’t know there was a name for it! Thanks!
