It's inelastic - you definitely increase the head requirement of a system with tubing runs - this is why people say to keep tubing short. If you're after lower friction tubing you might want to look into Tygon's teflon lined tubing - not only is teflon very low friction, it's almost completely chemically inert so you don't have to worry about additives eating your tubing.
