Interesting topic!

The A320 Family do not have a fuel advantage with an aft C of G, or to put it more bluntly loading the aircraft with all the bags at the back does not help fule burn. It does on the larger Airbusessses and on other aircraft. Read Airbus "Operational help on fuel saving" and the data for 320 family shows no advantage!
