I am with the one foot for both pedals technique. First off isn't the idea to get your foot off the brakes! I am new to the hypermiling nuances but the basics in my mind are to get your foot off the brake and coast so to be braking and accelerating so close together makes no sense to me at all, am I missing something?

All I see is that you are accelerating, then coast, you are NEVER go from brake to accelerating, you go from coast to accelerate. And you NEVER go from accelerate to brake, you go from accelerate to coast.
