If the engine is direct fuel injection then you have to cooling effect of the fuel being directly injected into the combustion chamber to allow higher compression. Using heat energy otherwise wasted is the real secret to higher efficiency.

Mazda is developing their SkyActive engines to run on compression ratios of 14 to 1 and higher using advanced injection and EGR strategies. That's diesel compression territory.
