If you need to rev to get the power, then your FC will suffer dramatically. That's why low end torque is very important in city driving and also highway. Higher torque allows your car to move at higher speed without revving the engine.

Imagine driving at 110km/h at 2000 rpm vs 110 km/hh at 3500 rpm, definitely the one at 3500rpm will consume A lot more of fuel.

It's similar to advanza 1.3. Driving at 120km/h nearly 4000rpm++ compared to vios 3000rpm and the fuel consumption was worst than a vios. Car pool back to KL on an advanza and i was surprise how much fuel it drank.
