When exercising, is fat near the part of the body being exercised being used more?

Let's take an example: running versus doing sit ups. Let's say the amount of energy expended during both activities is the same. Is more fat used near the abdominal muscles due to the sit ups when compared to running?

Please include any useful sources of info. Thanks.
