Air mass and desired mixture ratio determine the engine's output. This is not the same thing as just the size of the motor. Engine is an air-pump analogy, blah... blah...

DI allows the engine to be tuned to run well in a leaner state which can be used to increase output OR reduce fuel requirements for the same output.

It doesn't increase compression ratio. It allows engines to be run with higher compression ratios safely.

I don't quite follow the Otto cycle is more efficient at greater loads statement. Could you expand on this? Because I don't see how this relates to a vehicle's fuel consumption. ie: just because an engine is running at it's most efficient range, does not mean it is using the least amount of fuel.
