That's rubbish.
Flying a circle will cost you energy - lots of it if it's tight.
Good fighter pilots are masters of the energy game though.
If you could get them off their speed addiction, they'd make excellent hypermilers

Are there any hypermiling techniques using tight off ramps to gain free momentum?

If possible, start coasting further out, in order to carry a safe speed through the corner of the ramp.
