Nope not gonna save brakes but unless you really screw up not gonna blow up your engine either.
I think wbradley summed it up nicely.
Was a Mobile Support Equipment Operator in the Army many, MANY years ago and almost took a beating from my instructor for coasting to a stop with clutch pushed in one time. Been in the habit of keeping it in gear ever since. Coasting around with clutch in (or even worse in neutral) turns your car into a big soap box racer with little to no control if you need it.
OH WHY AM I LETTING MYSELF GET SUCKED INTO A DEBATE THAT CAN HAVE NO "WINNER"???????????
