As I understand it the boxer layout is lower in low end torque than lets say a "V", and harmonic vibrations cancel each other out.
I owned a 1976 Super Beetle which got good gas mileage, and currently own a 1977 Porsche 911 which gets 26 mpg hwy - not bad for a 0-60 in seven seconds car (and boxer layout).
Are you sure you are not thinking of a Rotary (Wankel) engine, renault_megane_dci?
