Not necessarily. It all depends on your setup, everything from the carb, cam, converter, etc. If you are lugging the engine, you can actually use more fuel because you end up using the throttle more to maintain speed because you are out of the power band. Most engines are most efficient when kept in the power band. Below or above it, you will typically use more fuel.
