Difficult question.
If you tune a carb to an particular RPM used for 'crusing'. I would say a carb would yield better numbers in MPG and power. However, EFI will perform better over the full RPM range and changing driving conditions. The burn of fuel would also be better. I think this would be true if you compare like engines (and cams).

Talk to engine builders, they can usually tweak more peak HP out of a carb'd car, but the EFI power curve is much flatter.
