I hope someone here can teach me a thing or two about engine design, because I would like to know WHY 3 cylinders is better. I honestly do not know and I want to learn why. I figure that total displacement should be more of a concern than cylinder count.
All things being equal (if possible), which would be more fuel efficient: an I3, I4, I5, V6, or V8 2.0L engine? What about the same but the volume was 0.9L? 4.6L?
Is power tied to bigger cylinders and fuel efficiency tied to smaller ones?
I know the stroke and bore have a huge impact on an engine so for my examples, just assume they all have the same stroke, if that helps comparing them.
