I think he was meaning if you have the same amount of space to stop in.
I agree that DFCO isn't as good as coasting if distance isn't such a problem, I have a driving test coming up, and I found out that if I coast I will fail, so I'm trying to unlearn the habit until after the test. My last two tanks have suffered as a result, my last being only 31MPG instead of the 33MPG I was getting when coasting wherever possible.
