One time I downshifted from fourth to first on accident. It wasn't pretty.

Don't do that.

I always downshift when slowing down -1 or 2 gears, I've also read that the ECU cut the fuel injection but not sure about this one. Depending on the speed, It makes the engine to rev more or less, but I never felt the need to hit the gaz before downshifting.

One time, I was cruising at over 150km/hr but it felt like I was going much slower (probably favourable wind condition), so I dropped into third cause I need to zoom over to the next highway ramp

I'm never doing that again...
