Increasing the compression ratio improves the thermal efficiency of the engine because it raises the peak cycle temperature. So for a given displacement(cubic inches, liters, whatever) your specific fuel consumption is improved. However, you don't get something for nothing. The you need higher octane fuel, stronger components, better materials to withstand the higher temperatures, etc, etc.
