This is correct.
It takes most diesel engines about same amount of fuel to run at hi-idle as it does to lo-idle. There’s no load other than parasitic load when these conditions happen in a governor, when looking at injection pump test specs high idle is usually with in a couple CCs of the low idle spec.
