More horsepower means that the engine is stronger? Right?
Why wouldn't a stronger engine be more efficient?
Are we not presuming the fuel usage is the same with regard to what horsepower is being achieved?
But lets taking drilling metal with a metal bit as an example.
A. If you drill slowly with a sharp bit of hard metal such as cobalt is cuts better.
B. If you attempt to drill fast what will happen is that the bit won't cut and it will just get hot. And if you then decide to use more pressure that bit is going to crack. So the hotter bit, did that create less friction? Or did what really happen is that it increased metal fatigue.

A hotter engine is more efficient? But why? Because when you have an engine at near the boiling point of water the fuel delivered to it stays or is more readily in a vapor gas state? Hence you need to use less of it? But is it true?
Could an engine be ran at 135F and the fuel delivery method of fuel injection be so precise that your vapor state due to increased heat of an engine isn't a factor (assuming it is?)
So there is a Japanese company that sells thermostats that open at a much lower temperature. In order to let the coolant flow quicker so that...And those thermostats are marketed for race cars. But with some race cars the issue is that the more times they have to go into that pit stop to fill up with gas the less likely they are to win the race. So one would believe if that "cold" thermostat where marketed to cars for those types of races it would not be decreasing efficienty, Miles per gallon.
How To Choose a Thermostat for Your Classic Car
The boiling point of water is 212 Degrees Farenheight?
But what about larger displacement engines? Ie, more square area of compression. Such as what the cars of the 60's and 70's were.
80c=176F
103c = 217.4F
