This makes no sense at all! Keeping the throttle fully open and the turbo sucking air is a recipe for emptying your tank and your wallet faster.

As far as my own fairly extensive experience of driving (about 55 years) is concerned, driving as though you have a raw egg on both the accelerator and brake pedals is the easiest way to save on gas and money. Period!
