    Depends on the vehicle, load, and conditions.

    In general, it's unnecessary in a passenger car on flat land in normal driving conditions and will hurt your fuel mileage.

    Anything you do that hurts your fuel mileage also implies the vehicle is operating below peak efficiency, therefore it must work harder to go the same distance, which means more wear and tear.
