Yeah, the effiency myth...
That is what Audi used to say: I6 smoothness paired with I4 economy...
Biggest myth going. The economy isn't there. A T5 isn't as economical as a equal powered T4 (or so). A 2.0l 5 cylinder will still use more fuel than a 2.0l 4 cylinder -> more friction will always result in higher fuel costs...
