In fact reducing RPM too far while leaving the MP at full would cause detonation and possible engine failure.
But it will not in Aces High
In the *game* the best way to decrease fuel consumption while maintaining as much performance as possible is to simply pull down RPMs. For instance, if you pull the RPMs on an La7 down to 2000 after climbing to 8000 feet, it will show about a half hour of gas remaining and still cruise at ~340.
