If only I could predict the future and know exactly when the traffic will start moving again. Why do you think modern autos downshift through each gear when slowing? To... get this, maximize engine braking and to avoid the lag required to get it in the correct gear when you get back on the throttle. Even my unsporty Suburban downshifts through each gear when coming to a stop.
