The DS 1.8 was more economical overall, especially over a 4 speed box CL, but both are entirely dependant on the type of use and driving style.

Same deal with the B4/B3 - my B3 16V is more economical than my old B4 1.6SE - coz you had to use the powerband in that to make any decent progress !

I would expect any B2 to beat the economy of the B3/B4 due to their much lighter weight
