It's fine as long as people know what they are doing is ridiculous. I have a friend who both tries to hyper mile and as well as prevent any wear on his brakes on his Diesel VW Golf TDI. As in, his objective is to never, ever touch his brakes, or accelerate (significantly). He plans out his highway on-ramps to avoid sudden acceleration, rarely passes, and gauges stop-lights blocks in advance to reduce braking.

Is this needed in a modern car, or does it make driving said care more pleasurable, (or, for that matter, safe?) No, in call cases. But, he takes a particular pleasure about taking his vehicle into the dealer (free, once a year), and at 75,000 miles being told that his brakes look like they've got 10,000 miles on them.

So, if you read the advice on SSDs in this (ridiculous to some) vein, then It's a fun read.
