By moving more air, you're also moving more fuel. As for your straw analogy, who would burn more calories, the guy walking around the block because he can't take in enough oxygen to run or the guy running because his airway is unrestricted?
I have an RSX-s for gawd's sake and I can tell you without a doubt, it burns gas very efficiently at wide open throttle. Since my goal isn't to burn gas anymore, it is to save gas, I rarely see wide open throttle anymore... and I'm getting 38mpg during the winter and 41 during the warmer weather.
