When SKW was considering jumping on the e-jet bandwagon about ten years ago they realized the CRJ burned about 15% less gas, so they passed on the e-jet at the time. In 2008 that looked a good move... with fuel prices up and the economy down every gallon counted. But I think the majors just finally decided to eat the fuel delta because their customers hate little jets.
New production e-jets may be more fuel efficient, IDK.
