Subject:fuel injections and gas milage

I have a question about gas milage and long downhill
slopes.
Does it hurt your gas milage to use the engine to
brake going downhill?
Would you get better or worse milage using a higher
gear, lower rpm and using your brakes verses lower
gear, higher rpm but with the gas pedal in the least
extended postion allowing the engine to brake?
    please explain any answer, thanks gary
