Does this advice apply to all cars?

So if you drive like an NYC cabbie, i.e. use the method of “floor the gas whenever there’s 3 open feet in front of you and then stomp the brake after 3 feet,” you end up feeding gas into the engine which is then combusted. This gas would have provided the energy to move the car X number of feet if the road were clear. But the road is NOT clear, and by stomping the brake (or by crashing into the car in front of you), you waste that gas. At least that’s the way I understand it. It’s also less wear and tear on parts like the brakes and maybe the transmission and fuel pump and engine, etc.
