another interesting experiment would be to take a stock engine with pretty good FE and shave the heads to see if there is any merit to the whole increased compression ratio getting better FE.
I understand that it isn't that easy to do. you could also just get a thinner head gasket to prove/disprove it. I know that guys have been doing that for years for more power. I think if you had a dyno sheet of before and after, you could determine if there would be FE gains by the torque slope. if the torque went up (especially in the lower rpms) then you would see FE gains.
like I said though, it wouldn't be cheap to do ether and possibly not worth the gains depending on how much they are
