Look at the Fiat 126p: it has a two-cylinder 650 ccm engine and its 24 hp rushes its 600 kilos from 0 to 100 KPH in just 56 seconds! It does shake, though, you can see the car's rear dancing in idle at a streetlight. FE is 5.2-7.2 l/100km ( 45-33 MPG).
In the case of a four-banger with two dead cylinders, I think it should be enough if you're using it only for cruising and not passing.
