In the recent times most of the advancements made in FE have came from the racing side of the Automobile Industry.
Its no longer "to make more power we make engine bigger"

They are using technology to make the engines more efficient by utilizing less fuel to make more work. The idea of BSFC was born from the racing side not the FE side.

Also in all types of road racing fuel consumption plays a major role in getting to the winners circle.
