And burn more fuel.

According to US Air Force calculations the KC-767 got a less efficient aerial refueling efficiency than the KC-30. In other words the KC-30 burns less fuel for each pound of fuel delivered. These figures are based on various scenarios.

The KC-30 may have higher fuel burn per hour. But that figure is not the only base to calculate efficiency.
