Wouldn't be so quick to blame the oversquareness. When they released the FB20 they said they had reduced friction 29% from the EJ20. 29 whopping percent. That is huge. Of course, having a more modern combustion chamber design helps, but we all know how much friction has to do with fuel economy. 29% is probably on the order of removing all pumping losses.
