Safety is the consideration, and I'd offer the premise that coasting affects two of the three factors, the ability to accelerate out of a problem and the braking effect of the engine compression. Braking effect makes an admittedly small contribution to stopping the car, but sometimes 10 or 15 feet at 60-70 MPH is the difference between a close call and a fatal accident.

Also, I wonder how much more frequently your acquaintance has to change brake pads.
