It is very relevant. To get good mileage, you have to select the proper bits that go together, assemble and tune the engine carefully, and make sure it's as efficient as possible.
An efficient engine makes good power everywhere, and gets good mileage at the same time.
If your mileage stinks (comparatively), then you're not making nearly as much power as you could be. Why spend all that money on cool shiny speed parts, then dumb it down with poor tuning?
I have a big displacement engine that makes well over 600 dyno proven hp. And yet it still gets 20mpg.
Besides, what's more fun - driving, or stopping at the gas station?
