Fuel SG vs jet engine burn efficiency

Hi guys,

Was just wondering, how does the density of the fuel affect the efficiency of the engine?

Correct me if I am wrong, from a physic view point, the fuel flow into the engine for combustion is just volumetric. How does SG comes into play and affect our fuel burn and fuel in tanks?

From what I have gathered, average jet fuel density is highest in west coast US and lowest in Asia.

Thank you.

Cheers,
