I don't have a set rule for when to downshift, depends on tbe situation. If in 6th and coming to a stop downshifting from 6th to 1st in my opinion is a pita. If you get a chubby from hearing your RPMs going up as you downshift to a stop, go for it.

If coming to a light, I'll either coast or brake, than shift to in my opinion, the appropriate gear to accelerate based on speed...
