actually, when i got my first car (97 mazda mx-6) i used to do this alot. i've "heard" that using the other gears are beneficial only when you hauling a heavy load (this is just something i've heard, so i do not know if it's right or wrong). i'd image something like when you're going up hill on a bike and you need to get into lower gears to make it easier. what i do know is that the tranny went out after like 2 years of owning it where as my wife's 92 mazda 626 beater is still going (even till today).
