Adjusting throttle cable

i adjusted my throttle cable and i have that where the throttle is closed and it opens right when you touch the cable. Anyone think i may have tightened it too much.

Oh and it does accellerate pretty well now but i think i may be going through some gas quick! but i did do a good amount of driv'n

i would think if its idling anywhere over maybe 1k-1.5k or so it would be a little too tight. throttle response is nice but its not really worth it in my opinion to waste amounts gas for something as simple as that.
