There are other types of efficiency, not just fuel consumption/mileage economy efficiency.
i.e., HP/liter of displacement.

Also, fuel consumption/mileage economy efficiency has to be taken into context. I don't think S54 / S65 engines' fuel consumption are all that bad, considering they do produce 340 and 420 hp each.
