Lower rpm use will require more throttle (%) to keep the engine overcoming the compression stroke. If you think I am bat **** crazy, or I am some type of moronic asshole (which you do as you believe a piece of data off a graph for HP seekers is also the data the mpg seeker should look at), take the blade off your lawmower (flywheel for most, besides the ultra lite aluminum "fan) and start it up. I am sure that it will respond quickly, but will require a higher idle speed and more throttle to maintain any given RPM. But, I am just some dumb fool, almost always "proven wrong" by my students (especially when it comes to how stupid humans can be). Give it the old college try, and start up that lawnmower (and tell me about your experiences with it).

I don't think you are bat **** crazy or a moron, I just think if you are gunna post on a forum answers like because I said so like you did on the first page, then you might as well not post at all. Forums are to help people and not discourage them. Your explanation above was great and I'm now doubting my own uneducated gut feeling, but I still won't be satisfied until I see real world results of mine or somebody else's from a car.
