perhaps it would be better to use the temperature of the flame when mixed with the air compressed at the ignition point to represent the source temperature thermodynamic efficiency more realistically?

I suspect this is why efficiency is monotonic (increasing) W/ compression ratio.

bc, at first thought, but increased E necessary to increase ratio, and then, is PE and much E returned during expansion.
