No it doesn't. What the article says is to keep your velocity constant = zero acceleration by coasting and giving gas in short spurts. But it's entirely possible that journalists don't know the difference between "giving gas" and "accelerating the car."
I don't think the pulse and glide method keeps your velocity constant. The idea is that accelerating to 70mph and coasting down to 50mph repeatedly is more efficient than maintaining a constant speed of 60mph. Not always more practical, but you should try to drive that way when you get a chance. Here's another explanation: http://www.metrompg.com/posts/pulse-and-glide.htm
