Depends on the type of engine, Jim, and the governing, fuel etc etc.

Diesels are usually at the top of the tree, with gas hit and miss at
the bottom, depending on the governor type.

The other consideration is where on the power curve you measure
efficiency. Some engines exhibit a curious power/consumption curve
that improves towards full power.
