In vehicles, I've owned from a 1.5L up to an 8.2L.
As a former RC car nut, I have owned a few .049" Baby Bees. That is 0.000803 Liters.
For a while I bought government surplus auction equipment to refurb and sell. There was a skid lot that I won that included a 12v92 Detroit. That's 18.1L. Too bad it was toast. Busted rod windowed the block. The good news is... 5000lbs of cast iron was still worth something in scrap value back then.

There are so many things that used gas powered motors :)

Hey I might temporarily win the displacement spread.
In bikes, 50cc currently owned. The 250,350 and 600 are history.
In cars, 1200 fiat, (long gone) 1600cc turbo mazda, 1800cc Datsun 510, 3 1800cc turbo mazdas, ( all gone) a 2.5l v6 duratech in a jag xtype, a 3 liter v6 in a Maxima ( gone) a 1. almost-9 liter turbo Mazda in a rallykar , another 3liter in my wife's C class, several chevy inline sixes.. what are those.. 283 maybe? And all long gone. For a short while I was part owner of a 308 Ferrari so there's a Weber'ed 3liter Italian bent8 back in my history, a 5.5 liter supercharged 3valve German psychopath that is by far the most amusing powerplant in my world, more 350 chevys than I can remember but only one still in the fleet, a 351 Ford, not one but 2 6.2 GM diseasels, both very happily the berkeley outta here, and last not certainly not least a 636 cubic inch 3208 turbo Cat. Which will in all likeliyhood outlive me.
In cars, 4 cylinder, V4, I6, V6, V8, V12, in displacements from 1100 cc to 440 c.i.
3x 1600cc Vw’s ,3x 1.8 Vw’s , 1.7 Vw, 2.0 Vw, 2.5 Bmw , 3x 2.7 bmw’s, 2x 1.8 bmw, 2.0 bmw, 2.0 Volvo, 2.3 Volvo, 2.5 Subaru, 3.7 dodge, 225ci dodge, 2x 318ci dodges, 4x 302ci fords, 200ci Ford, 4.6 Ford, 351ci Ford, 2x 352ci fords, 2.8 Ford , 2x 250ci chevys, 4.3 Chevy, 305ci Chevy, 350ci Chevy, 232ci AMC, 304ci AMC, 2x 4.0 Jeeps, 1.6 Mini I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few cars
bike wise I’ve own 2x 75cc, 100cc, 3x 250cc , 2x 350cc, 500cc, 600cc, 2x 750cc, 883cc, 996cc, 1000cc
Stuff that will pull me down the road goes from 50cc (I have 3 of those) to 7.0 liter Ford. Smallest car is a 948cc Austin Healey.

3 5.2s, a 5.9 and a 3.9
I already know that if I get money to change that list it would likely end up buying another truck with one of those engines because something is wrong with me.
Alternatively I could work with my disorder and just aim to own a dodge truck with every engine they ever came with, which is the kind of stupid I can get behind.
At one point, every vehicle my wife and I owned was powered either by a Chevy 350 ('78 Corvette, '85 C-30 Dooley) or was turbocharged ('88 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II, 2001 Audi A6 2.7T, 1993 Volvo 945T).
The Vette's gone, the Audi's gone, the Volvo's gone. New are Honda Accord V6 and Mazda 2.5 Turbo CX-9.
Smallest I've ever owned was Mazda 12A rotary (1.1 liters). Largest would be a couple different GM 350's.

There's no way I can remember them all, but my favorite was when I had a '61 Olds F-85 along with my '69 Olds Delta 88 in the garage. I had the smallest Olds V8 (215 cubic inches) parked next to the largest Olds V8 (455 cubic inches). I thought it was cool to own them both at the same time. Oddly the little 215 V8 had straight pipes, which made it sound gnarly. The 455 is muffled down like a speed boat.
Currently, SR20, L20, two DOHC Neon 2.0, 2.4 SRT turbo, 2.9 Twin turbo Volvo, 4.6 ls, 5.2 Magnum, blown 350, 6.0 ls. No way I'm writing the total list that started with a 235 flathead in 1972.
And, I own too many damn cars.

My list in nearly 20 years is
1.3l rotary
1.8l bp
1.3l rotary
1.8l bp
6.2l LT1
In my limited sample set, there has been a strong correlation between displacement and utter crappiness.
Everything from a 903cc Fiat 850 to an 8.0 V10 Viper with a few 7.3 Diesels, turbos, and superchargers mixed in for good measure. My daily is a 5.7 liter i-Force V8 in a Land Cruiser. I guess you could say I love displacement.
