I heard that adjusting the gas valve on my standard natural gas furnace will

By partially closing the gas valve reduces the flame. Although the furnace
would run longer, the flue temp is reduced meaning lower heat loss and
improvement in efficiency.

An analogy is like driving a car the same distance once fast and once slow.
When driving slower, it obviously will take longer, the engine is on longer,
yet fuel usage is less.

I have no way to verify if this is BS or not.

And what do you loose in increased cost to run the blower, they pull
alot of power. Just set it to spec and have it completely cleaned.
