MPG-friendly scooter and motorcycle tires?

The tires on my Elite 250 are beat to hell, and I'd like to replace them. I've done some looking at tires, and I'm trying to find a low rolling resistance tire. I'd rather not pay over $35/tire either. The factory size is 10-4.00, but I'd be willing to change to a different 10 inch size, since the 4.00 is getting to be a rare size.

Can anyone recommend a tire to buy? I do mostly high-speed riding, and I'd like a long-life tire. Right now, I have my eye on the Michelin S1: Michelin S1 Performance Scooter Tire - Scooter - Tires - Motorcycle Superstore

I'm also not sure what size to buy. I'm thinking either 10-3.50 or 90/90-10.
