Actually, it sounds like it's more like YMWNV (your mileage will not vary). :)

Maybe I'm just betraying my unfamiliarity with engine science, but if the 
engine is working 18% less, I would expect (theoretically) some reduction, 
at least 10%. Or am I mixing my fruits here?  (I do note the use of the 
term "perceptible")
