Maybe not unjustifiable, but most of the time it's exactly the opposite of what would help improve economy, if that's your goal. Generally speaking, downsizing (a little, at least) improves economy. That, or re-gearing. Downsize too far though and you're pushing a small engine out of its efficient zone.
