High speed jets

I have not done anything to my Valks carbs because they work.  When I had the Nomad I changed out the jets after going to a RoadHouse exhaust and Hyper Charger air box.  Pretty common mod for the Vulcan crowd.  Some reported a signifcant drop in mileage others had no change.  Until I read that link in the other thread I wondered why.  Now I think I have it.
    The larger jets only come into play a near WOT.  So unless you do alot of sustained high acceleration or really high speed there really should be no change.  I didn't see any drop, in fact with the 2 into 1 exhaust and the more open air box I actually got a small increase.  I had enough extra mid-range power that I was less inclined to open it up to accelerate. 
    Does this make sense?
