From my knowledge usually the more gears the better fuel economy, because of being able to keep the engine in more optimal rpm range.

It looks like the hybrid is only offered with the 4 spd while the gas has both as options. Something you should make sure to check for if you choose the non-hybrid.
If that's the case, then the six speed FE will largely depend on the final drive ratio - looks like they had several possibilities. In my LaCrosse eAssist, it's 2.64, the lowest available; not sure what it is in the 'bu.
