Yes, you are probably right. Controlled tests would be the only way of knowing. However, I would still think that more energy would have to be used to maintain the same average speed on a fixed/singlespeed. Otherwise why would people use gears? (gears are there to make it easier/faster/more efficient which means less energy required for same speed doesn't it)
