– Why can V6 engines not just get “smaller” for fuel efficiency vs going Turbo V4?

640 views

I guess what about having extra pistons makes mpg worse vs. 1.8L, 2.5L, 3.5L, etc.?

A V6 engine has a lot more moving parts than a V4 engine. This means there is more friction etc. At some point, the same capacity in the V4 will be more fuel efficient than a V6. Also more parts means more costs to make.
