Yeah, I think driving has a lot to do with it. If a person drives with a "heavy foot" all the time, then having the smaller engine, where the extra power just simply isn't there, even when floorboarded, then it won't be possible to burn the extra gas the bigger engine would allow. But if you drive with a light foot, then maybe having a bit of extra power available won't hurt so much - within reason.
