That's a bit of a misconception. Poke around here a bit more and you'll discover plenty of crossover between power/racing and fuel economy enthusiasm. Lots of owners of "fun" weekend cars + modified-for-efficiency daily drivers.

At the same time, it should not escape the notice of y'all that racers ... are largely responsible for a lot of power-improving techniques that are basic to the fuel-efficiency you want. Cold-air intake

Maybe not the best first example.

warm air intakes can be found on high-efficiency car models. Not good for peak power production, but better for economy (partly for the same reason as EGR -- reduced pumping loss).
