I do, because though the rpm isn't raised by opening the throttle, higher rpm's burn the fuel in the chamber more *often* than at a lower rpm. Though it may be true that the fuel in the chamber is not as rich as when accelerating, a high rpm on an idle throttle will burn fuel faster than idle rpm at idle throttle.

Explain how more fuel can be burned, when there isnt more beeing released...?

ACCORDing to your theory, if I'm rolling down a steep hill in a given gear, using the gear to slow down my car, the higher rpm would result in more fuel consumption.


Nope that DOES NOT work.
