parasitic losses are mainly from the friction of the drivetrain.. also thermal losses..

as speed increases, so does the drag or friction coefficient..
so the percentage of loss remains relatively constant..

so an engine that puts out more hp is spinning faster within the same time frame. The faster engine speed means more drag or friction..
