Based on what I've seen, it's actually closer to most vehicles in the last twenty years or so, depending on location/fuel system type. Vehicles w/ mechanical FI tend not to have fuel cutoff, as do some carb'ed vehicles, but near the end of the carb's use, some were fitted with add-ons that cut fuel depending on manifold pressure, and just about every vehicle w/ electronic FI I've head about has it.
