Guessing something from the VW/Audi family, Hyundai Gen Coupe or GM Ecotec? Only ones I can think of that get similar EPA ratings to the FR-S/BRZ.

Keep in mind it depends on how sophisticated (read: expensive to build) an engine is, too. No doubt the FA20 could get better mileage and/or more power, but at what cost? A lot more than you're paying now! Sacrifices.
