As per my understanding of the issue, it is not that simple to just say since each rotor has its own displacement that the displacement is twice as much. The rotors arent necessarily on the same cycle at the same time, meaning its not burning 1.3L x 2 at the same time. It might be burning in one and exhausting in the other at the same time, but technically thats not burning 2.6 L at the same time.
Also Mazda would not be able to sell the car as 1.3L if it really was 2.6L. Thats false advertising and its against the law.
