Some months ago, I read an article that had a comparison of the delta-v (the change in velocity) required for NASA's Lunar Gateway (which is planned to orbit in one of the Lagrange points between the Earth and the Moon, and a standard lunar orbit. The Gateway required a higher delta-v, hence more fuel. Unfortunately, my Google skills have failed me, and I can't find the article.
