Running the motor real slow can reduce consumption because it reduces the power lost to internal heat and friction. But unless the fuel metering is carefully controlled savings are limited by running too much fuel in order to be sure of running enough.
A better ratio in the rear will help but don't expect it to give a miracle cure.
