Here below the story of fuel economy of the a320 family;
from getting the grips with fuel economy;

The A320 family does not show the same SR variation with CG as the other aircraft. The aft CG produces worst SR at FL290, crossing over to show an improvement at higher flight levels. The SAR variation is much smaller also. This is due to a complex interaction of several aerodynamic effects. The SAR can be considered effectively constant with CG position. Loading is therefore not critical for fuel economy for the A320 family.

Hope this helps
