Now that's just ignorant. It takes more fuel to go 0 to 60 in 12 seconds. Consider the graph of the velocity. On the vertical axis we have speed. On the horizontal axis we have time.
On the first graph we go 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. For simplicity we will assume a linear increase in speed. On the second graph we go 0 to 60 in 12 seconds. Clearly the second graph will be twice as wide. As both graphs reach the same height, we can graphically see that the second graph will have more area (perhaps twice as much.) Since we are consuming fuel throughout the time we are accelerating, it becomes obvious that we will consume more fuel going from 0 to 60 in 12 seconds than if we make the same acceleration in 6 seconds. We don't even have to break out the limits and the Riemann Sums to demonstrate this. :)
