This thread answers your question plus goes a bit further on the subject of braking (using engine):
Question about using brakes
Quote:

While coming to a stop light for a stop try to leave 50' or more of roll space to remove your foot from the brake to roll a few feet with no brake applied. Well that is a cumbersome explination. What you would like to do is not heat soak the rotors in one spot. A slow roll to a light with light brake pressure before stopping will allow the brakes to cool somewhat. Then only enough pressure to keep you from rolling forward will work fine. That will save the heat soak as well, marginally but it's better than nothing. With todays rotors being very warp prone due to lack of material, all reasonable measures to save them help.
