The combustion efficiency and conversion of fuel energy to work on a 
single power stroke of that idling engine is higher on gasoline. That's 
why it throttles down, wasting most of the fuel inducted on alternate 
cycles.

Hi John,
That's why, if you must run an engine under such circumstances,one power 
stroke, then no firing until engine slows, but with fuel passing through unburned 
until the engine slows and another power stroke occurs, it is wise if your 
engine is a Maytag.  That way, the unburned fuel is converted to smoke which, in 
turn, is a public health benefit because it keeps mosquitoes away.  Thanks for 
mentioning it.
