wheels and fuel econ

I've been reading a bit how oem steel wheels are quite a bit heavier than their aftermarket aluminum counterparts... anyone switched from steel to aluminum and noted any fuel econ gains? anyone have any numbers on how much weight can be shed by switching wheels? also... going to a smaller wheel but getting a larger tire so as to keep the same diameter overall... any gain there?
