I would think that it probably does, all things being equal, as it is harder work as you are never really in the optimum gear. i.e if you were to ride 20 miles in 1 hour it would be harder to do fixed than with gears (unless you had a 100% flat route with no wind and the perfect gearing for 20mph!)
