EFI is always better at fuel economy, it's always self-tuning. You can only optimize a carb for certain conditions.

There's not a single car that I can think of (Bar the CRX HF when it was introduced, but the VX/HX do the same job with double the power) that had better fuel economy with a carb setup. And never have I heard of anyone downgrading a EFI car to carb for fuel economy, always the opposite.
