Here is some results of european tire test of this year which I have read:

At the moment best tire on the market is Michelin Energy saver, best in RR in every test! And usually orher michelin models are also in good positions in LRR tests. One test shows consumption difference between models in litres in different speeds.
speed 80km/h 120 km/h
1 Michelin energy saver 5,44l/100km 8,09l
2 Michelin Primacy Hp 5,6 8,2
3 Kumho ecsta spt 5,55 8,26

Other low RR tires in the top 3 test are
Continental premiun contact 2
Hankook vetus prime k105
Nokian V

European manufactures usually use in their eco models 175/70/R14 tire size...
