However, even for inter-orbit transfers, there is a certain amount of "gravity loss" due to planetary or solar gravity fields. Consider, for example, the use of the Apollo Lunar Module using its descent engine to hover above the lunar surface prior to landing. There is no change in velocity, so D V = 0, and yet propellant is being expended just to "hold up" the vehicle against lunar gravity.
