Is there any truth to a suggestion that I have heard about the oil level in a Detriot 2-stroke?

I have read comments on other boards that suggest that if you let the level stay closer to the fill mark than the full mark it will use less of it?

I don't like the idea just because I don't like the small 7gal capacity in the first place but if the thing is gonna just push it out quicker above that point, as these comments suggest, I'm willing to entertain the notion.

Has anyone heard or experianced this?
