Not strictly true.

A 4.0 V6 is likely to produce more power than a 3.5 V8, and use more gas too.

yeah, it's possible. by 4.0 and 3.5, is that the volume of the cylinder, or the linear distance between the TDC and BDC or the diameter of the piston?

Better is subjective, in what way? V6 engines of today are much more potent than V6 engines of 10 - 20 years ago. There are V6 engines out there that perform like V8 engines. Better is a very subjective term.
