No, it would imply that Gulfstream and Bombardier designed larger planes that are heavier, greater cabin volume and longer range--the whole combination being heavier and, yes, less efficient. A 900 grossed out weighs about what the BOW is for an XRS. Big difference.

The 900 has greater range than a 2000 because it was designed that way, not because three engines are more efficient.
