They are likely similar (if not better) as far as HP per Litre of gas used. The only issue is that you don’t regularly need the full power they can produce.

If you were trying to move cross-country, it’s more fuel efficient to use one semi truck and not 50 civics. But if all you need is to move 2 people, a semi truck is no longer as efficient (as you’re not needing its full potential).
