Does this advice apply to all cars?

For accelerating:
When you want to accelerate your car’s brain has to make many decisions, like when to change gears, how much fuel to use, etc. When you floor the pedal, you’re telling your car “forget fuel, I wanna go FAST!” And your car zooms off
If you press the pedal softer, your car goes “Oh, he doesn’t wanna go fast. Here lemme save him some more fuel since I can”, and that’s why you use less fuel.
As for braking, think of a bicycle. If you brake hard on a bicycle, you never “coast”, which is time you’re not pedaling. Same thing for cars, by braking slower, you’re actually breaking **earlier**, which means you coast more and save fuel.
