If you're using a Hohmann transfer, sure. But IIRC a Bi-elliptic transfer will get you on a collision with the Sun for less delta-v than escaping the solar system. That's where you speed up to get high and slow then burn to cut your velocity when there. For ratios of oribital radii over 15 it's more always more efficient than the standard Hohmann transfer and since the ratio is very large in this case it works much better. But in this case you're just trying to get within the radius of the Sun and don't even need the third burn to slow down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-elliptic_transfer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-elliptic_transfer
