Does this advice apply to all cars?

I think it helps to flip it. If you consider that it is braking, not accelerating, that causes overconsumption, you can’t go wrong.
An ideal scenario for high efficiency is a straight line from start to finish, you accelerate in the beginning, find your happy speed, and let go of the gas pedal when destination is near. If you time it right, you’ll come to a stop without need ing to brake.
If keep the foot on the gas pedal too long, you’ll need to use the brake. Braking doesn’t use gas per se, but it’s a symptom of you having accelerated too long. Which does use gas.
If you can drive with minimal use of the brakes, you’re saving gas. By thinking ahead and stoping acceleration earlier than a braker.
It’s fun too. Keeps you focused. Makes you a fiend to brakers, but hey, everyone is someone’s fiend.
