Yes, the fuel savings in the former case are larger than the initial fuel consumption in the latter case, but is it really unintuitive in practice? What I mean is that we generally pay for fuel per volume, not per mileage. Now, I am not sure about others, but I would always base my decision based on the money I'd save over a period of time, which in this case would require considering each vehicle's actual fuel consumption over that period of time.
