It doesn't have to work as hard as the smaller one therefor it will use less fuel.

Um, sorry.

How can two identical vehicles except for engine displacement make the smaller engine get worse fuel economy? Unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the smaller engine (like there is in the 305). That would be like saying a 1.8L Ford Escort GT would get better fuel mileage than a 1.4L Ford Esgort GL. Ain't gonna' happen. Sorry.
