My statement was made entirely tongue-in-cheek. It is most certainly easier to dive a vehicle designed with a proper manual steering system vs. a power steering setup that is inactive (engine off).
I have driven both though, numerous times, and never felt 'unsafe'. Even in the old 3/4 ton truck I had with a faulty power steering pump (I removed the belt due to massive leakage) it was manageable at any speed beyond a crawl; parking it was a whole nother story though!
Still, what it boils down to though is if you feel 'unsafe' then it's not worth the risk to save the tiny amount of fuel EOC will save you.
