Double-clutching on down shifts

["Henry Butt" <henrybutt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks !

Is double-clutching on downshifts necessary ? I do it habitually because 
of the British cars I used to drive (in the 60's) with 
chattter-box/rock-crusher trannies. Double-clutching helps preserve
the synchros but adds wear to the clutch mechanism and uses a little
more fuel (bibbing the throttle). 

Please comment !

Cheers
