This is wrong for at least 2 reasons. It takes a certain amount of power to drive a certain shape and weight of vehicle through the air. Since either engine, large or small, make the needed power, the larger engine has more internal friction from the unnecessary piston ring and bearing area.friend told me that the V8 get better MPG's because they don't have to work as hard to do the same job.
Odd, every vehicle I have been in gets better milage the lighter it is and the less hard the engine is working...This is wrong for at least 2 reasons.

The second reason is that an engine working hard is more efficient than an engine not working hard.
or you could get an unleaded car that gets almost the same mileage, with a lower priced fuel, and it isn't a VW. win win win.drive like a grandpa, or sell it and buy a diesel gti
Could you find a gasser that gets 45mpg and is the same price as an old GTI?or you could get an unleaded car that gets almost the same mileage, with a lower priced fuel, and it isn't a VW. win win win.
I don't know how to respond except to say that my experience is exactly opposite.Odd, every vehicle I have been in gets better milage the lighter it is and the less hard the engine is working...
From what I have gathered V6's in fullsizes are a joke...
