EPA probably can't answer your specific question, because...
The answer is: It Depends (TM).
If the additional gear choices permit you to choose an intermediate gear that gives you have a lower cruising RPM than you would otherwise, you'll save a bit of fuel.
If the top gear ratios are the same, and you spend most of your time on the highway, there will be no benefit.
EPA's blanket disclaimer is what? "Your mileage may vary."
