Downshift when you need to when cruising or accelerating. (like if you don't have enough power to get up a hill in the gear you're in)

Delay downshifting on deceleration to prolong your DFCO coast. (downshifting earlier gives you more engine braking, which you don't want if you're trying to coast as long as possible "for free")
