Yes it is.
That's because of one of the greatest misconceptions amongst [people] all people - that gas burns. It ain't the gas that burns, it's the oxygen, and the objective is to deliver as little fuel as possible. The computer delivers as little fuel as possible for any throttle 'disposition'.
It will go up even more, for the same power output, when the manufacturers start feeding fumes to the intake, instead of feeding liquid gasoline to pressure-fed injectors uh huh.
