Just like you make car engines more efficient. I am no engineer but when it comes to aviation efficiency also relies on the aerodynamics of the aircraft and how light it is. The use of more composite materials, just like that of the Boeing 787, helps Boeing make a more fuel efficient aircraft. If there is less weight and less drag for the aircraft, the engines will not be restricted and/or have to deal with more thrust. In addition to this, fuel and how fuel is consumed has come a long way in engine development.
