 can u skip gears



i was wondering if you are able to skip gears while down shifting? i am a new driver so i need some help. also with a stick shift what is the best way to slow down to come to a stop??

Doesnt skipping gears save wear on your clutch? I thought that was the whole purpose of doing that...besides being lazy. Also, just because your engine has less rpm's doesnt mean your fuel economy will go up, correct?
