It's a different metric but it is generally accepted that F1 cars have reached an overall thermal efficiency of 50%, which is cool. This is taking into account energy recovery from kinetic (regenerative braking) and thermal sources (from the turbo).

KERS is neat and all, but factoring that into ICE engine efficiency seems a bit like cheating, since there's now also 2 MJ battery on board F1 cars.
