Why does more methyl group mean more inductive effect?

have been taught that an alkyl group shows a +I (positive inductive) effect. Why do they do so? I know that hyperconjugation can explain how alkyl groups could stabilize a carbocation (better than a hydrogen). But, how does a longer chain alkyl group (or a bulkier alkyl group) show more +I effect than a smaller one?
