I think you just answered your own question. I have a 1994 NG 900 SE (t5)I use as my work car (147K) that you really have to work with to get decent mileage, like drive it as if there were a raw egg under the gas pedal. Good numbers can be obtained, but a heavy foot will result in Ford Expoler type gas mileage around town. My 00 9-3 SE (t7) is much easier to drive and more forgiving concerning gas mileage in town, it seems to be less peaky with a more sensible torque curve. Both cars are five speeds and the gearing appears to be taller on the T7 equipped car.
On the downside, T7 DIs (black) only seem to last half as long as the T5 (red) DI's. In the long run, its a wash.
