That is my understanding, yes.
Actually, thermodynamically, the Otto cycle is more efficient when the compression is higher. The pressure difference is increased, thereby getting more back from it. That is also why diesels tend to be more efficient. It isn't as much the energy content as it is the pressure differences. It doesn't take as much bang when you are already at a higher pressure.
