Actually a V8 can be just as efficient as a V6 - in some cases even more so. What with advanced cylendar control you can cruise with only 4 cylendars active. Power wise im guessing those engines compared with each other would be about the same.

So the question then would become - do you need to spend the money on the extra raw material to prodcue a V8 when a V6 will produce the same power and have about the same MPG.
