All other things being equal, if you have a 1.0L engine and a 2.0L engine producing the same amount of power to go a specific speed with your car and both engines have the same BSFC at that vehicle speed and power output, they will get the same fuel economy at that moment.

Making that happen in real life is very difficult.
