Your sled has a longer track, 25% larger engine displacement and overall heavier. The Rev's also have SDI (semi-direct injection) which adds to their good fuel consumption.

Here is a great article from Snow-Tech comparing those exact two engines (RX-1 vs. Rev SDI).
 
the 800 revs are carbed not sdi. the main difference i see is track length, 151 vs 121, if thats what they were. next time compare oil consumption at 15 bucks a liter for doo synthetic and you will feel beter.
