Not sure, but it won't help if you're trying to increase fuel mileage.

For a year of going down a hill for work I did that all the time and wouldn't burn as much gas. I would set my rpms for the speed I was going then shift back to drive to save from a hard shift. My car now has roughly 75,000 miles on it now and for that year I put 33,000 miles on it and I have no problems.
