How would it not burn more fuel when it has twice the displacement?
When I mentioned "naturally aspirated engines in pickups", I was referring to the V8s used in HD pickups produced by Ford, Stellantis and GM. Those engines are all roughly the same size as the 6.7L B-series Cummins, not twice the displacement. A modern engine's fuel usage is based more on power output, not displacement, especially under high loading. We'll have to wait and see what the specs end up being on these new engines. If they are less fuel efficient than the current gas pickup engines they will fail.
