there's no reason you can not use carbs for every day as long as you dont mind using more fuel, once they have been set up you should not have any trouble at all, providing they are set up right!

do carbs effect the fuel consumption massively of a c20xe?

Yes they effect comsumption, as they draw more air in, and fuel "roughly" compared to fuel injection. 
 
You'd probably 20/25mpg around town with them on if setup will. 
Drive everywhere floored and you WILL see the fuel gauge move(speaking from experience of twin carbs,lol)
