I think most of the inefficiency at WOT is due to acceleration enrichment and going open-loop. If the engine management were set up correctly, you might even get better efficiency at WOT than at 80% load. There certainly would be less pumping loss past the throttle--not much less, but some.
It might at least be worth a try. Of course, you'd have to make sure you could distinguish between "going WOT for efficiency" versus "I want maximum acceleration now".
