Not quite true, but the efficiency difference isn't so great as to be considered over other factors such as weight or complexity.

•Belt drive is 3% to 4% more efficient than chain.
•Belt was 6% faster to set distance from stop
•Belt traveled 8% farther for given power input
•Belt was 14% faster in speed test after initial acceleration
