Very basic explanation.
 
 
When you shoot in RAW-only a low-res JPG actually gets created too for faster previewing.
This gets embedded into the RAW file. The low res jpeg is 1920x1080pixels in resolution. 
 
You'll see this when you try to zoom to 100% to preview your image on the camera. You won't actually be able to view 1:1.
 
If you set your camera to shoot JPG+RAW you'll be able to zoom 1:1. and you won't get the misleading dimension read out.
 
Try it shooting in RAW only and then RAW+FINE. You'll notice the files are definitely both 16MP

You are confusing a lot of things.
 
First:
 

What you mean are MegaPixels. "MP". NOT "MB". "MB" means MegaBytes.
"mega" is just a prefix that means 1 Million or 106. I'm sure you know what a pixel is, although your Fujifilm camera has a cmos sensor, not a ccd sensor.
A byte is a unit of digital information, usually consisting of eight to ten bits, while a bit is defined the smallest piece of information in digital computing and can posess a value of either zero or one. The *.RAF files have a data size which is measured in MB.
Those two are not the same! (Although they have a relation, namely the bit depth of the analog-digital conversion multiplied by the number of pixels)

Second:
 
johant already tried to explain it to you, and I will try again. Digital files are often "containers", which combine several different types of information in one "file", that you can see and copy. Like the *.RAF files of fujifilm or the *.CR2 files of Canon. Those RAW containers consist of the RAW data that has been read from the sensor and converted from an analog signal to digital data, the exif-data (camera type, time of exposure, lens, shutter speed and such), and often a small (or big) *.jpeg file, that is included into the RAW file, which makes it possible to "see" what is in the RAW file. This embedded *.jpeg in your RAW file has probably a size of 1920x1280 (2.5 MegaPixels). The embedded *.jpeg in Canon RAW files is usually about 3 MegaPixels.
So I suppose, the software you use, or your camera (you did not tell us what exactly tells you the "size" of your files) shows the dimensions of the *.CR2 RAW data, but the dimensions of the *.RAF embedded *.jpeg.

Not sure if this counts

Coming from a Nikon D7000, I had a Sigma 18-35 f1.8 zoom lying around collecting dust. (If you don't know, this is widely regarded as the best zoom lens for APSC DSLRs)   So what I did was ordered a Metabones lens adapter and stuck it on my XT1!  
  My findings   - Sharper than the fuji 18mm f2 @ 18mm 1.8, especially at the edges - Very very close to the Fuji 35mm 1.4 when shot at 35mm 1.8 - HUGE. People thought I was using a telephoto lens. - Quite heavy. Definitely throws the XT1 off balance. - Very nice bokeh   Just a bit of fun, thought I would share   Awesome image quality, just with HUGEness, HEAVYness and MF of course.   Ask if you have questions   Some samples

It's a nice camera. Stunning for doco work.
 
Nic Tumblr blog man. Some lovely captures and processing 

The X100 was my first mirrorless camera. I loved it and hated it at the same time.
I loved the look, the experience, the images, and the compliments from people saying "nice camera" (haha!)
I hated how slow it was! I hated the laggy EVF, I liked the OVF when it didn't back focus.
 
I had to depart with my X100 due to a sticky aperture issue. Sold it online, and proceeded to the the XT1. Which I love by the way.
I then added a second body, the XE2, so I could quickly switch between focal lengths. Which I actually rarely do.. 
 
Looking back at the images I took with the X100... and remembering the experience. I miss it! It made images with great character.
I miss the 23mm focal length. I miss the OVF.
 
The XE2 + 18mm comes close.. but it can't quite replicate the feeling of the X100. Plus the X100T hybrid viewfinder with the little digital window in the corner.. WOW! I'm having day dreams about using the X100T haha.
 
Should I sell my XE2 to help fund the X100T?? I will be keeping the XT1 of course, but I can't keep all 3. (Because my girlfriend will beat me to death, with my cameras, if I keep them all)
 
What to do? Opinions on X100 series vs XE series? Should I just sell all my cameras and get a Fuji Instax? HALP.
