Question I would like to know more about the 370z's Paddle shifters.

To be honest I know nothing about Paddle shifters, besides thats its like manual with no clutch. I Know people say that manual cars save gas more then automatics so I was wondering if I use the manual mode in my car do I save gas?

Also I was wondering how I use it because I have used it a few times and I have learned that you don't have to downshift because it will down shift for you. I'm not sure if thats bad for the car or if it was made to do that. I do know when to upshift but when it comes to downshifting I am not sure if downshifting early is bad for the car. Anyways I just want to know if the manual mode saves gas or not and if the automatic downshifting is okay for the car or not, and any other info on the Paddle shifters/Dual clutch.

Thanks
