efficency is fair would be the closest to Bentham's original formulation of utilitarianism. It seeks the greatest good for the greatest number of people, therefore efficency is a central value in its philosophical scheme.

Most utilitarians would support income equality, but might not argue it is inherently fair. Its provable that an efficient system can be unfair (Nazi Germany was highly efficient and monstrously unfair). Competition brings efficency is a central tenet of market capitalism, not utilitarians.
