Generally speaking cylinder count will not be a factor in fuel consumption - rather displacement will. Theoretically, a 3L V8 should have roughly the same fuel economy as 3L I6 or 3L V6 if all are tuned with that goal in mind (while each delivering equivalent performance, obviously). The V8 would probably weigh the most, however, and that is something that is probably being taken heavily into consideration also.

But yes, of those three, the V8 will definitely have the least green image.
