My Grandma's Opel Corsa C 1.0l was aimed at better FE and had narrower OEM tires than other versions. Their size was 155/80R13, but I don't remember the maker, model, etc., except for 'LowCO2' markings on them. Whether they really are low RR - I don't know.

EDIT: I looked at a tire size calculator and it said that the diameter of 155/80R13 is only 3mm less than 175/70R13, that's 0.5%. Going to thinner tires will definately reduce your FA, but you should check the weight limit on them.
