I Like the new Corvette engine 400hp 400tq and it can get 27 miles per gallon. i don't see the reason (except for weight) for building small displacment engines if you can get mileage like that.
people that disable the 1-4 upshift and like responsiveness on their drive do NOT get good mileage.

they get that mileage by having such a tall 6th that even with all that torque they don't pull all that hard.

so the large displacement give you the ability to waste more gas, but you don't have too.
but the good part is you can

I'd say the new LS7 is going to be a tough engine to beat for overall cost, power, reliablity, simplicity, etc.

I'm tempted to say the late-model 911TT engine. When that first came out (late 90's?) the 911TT sucked the doors off most exotics of the time.
