Did you try it, or are you just talking your perception of theory?
If you tried it, you will find you are wrong.
Then to rationalize, when you have WOT (or a diesel) you compress 10:1 or 20"1 compression on the compression stroke, but you get all that energy back on the power stroke - kind of like a big pneumatic spring.
