Of course you can--there are enough tradeoffs that you can find just about anything if you look hard enough. Especially if you're looking for lower economy numbers. (Heck, just leave the handbrake on and you'll find lower economy numbers!!)

That doesn't mean that the larger engines get the same economy as the smaller ones.
