This is what I also have in mind, in our company before they certify us to drive company vehicles they give us seminars and one of those is in "Eco driving". In this seminar, engine braking was also discussed. Its not only during downhill that you can use engine braking actually you can use this technique on your everyday driving to conserved fuel. Please correct me if im wrong.

When driving you can use engine break when you see traffic ahead to gradually slow your car down before it reach near stop without down shifting. Note at this point you don't gas up just wait before you can fully stop in case and that is the time you press your clutch then shift your gear. Correct me again if I'm wrong.

Just one thing moving in my mind, if we use engine break this way will there be any problems we might encounter with our engine or this is just logical.

For more info on this type of engine breaking you can try asking my friend google for more info.
