So would it be correct to say that at high altitude at less than full rpm (cruise setting the engine will run out of puff and can not deliver any more power even with the throttle not full against the firewall, if so is the excess fuel that will be delivered to the engine by fully opening the throttle (past the point it can deliver power) wasted or is it just not drawn thru,?
