I've used Michelin Energy Savers and got 7% better fuel economy.
This tyre design is 4 years old though.
The newer designs like the Continental EcoContact 5 etc. have surpassed it by now. The Ecocontact 5 was good in fuel efficiency and wear.
If I had to pick one today, this would be the one.
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 performed very well in that size in the recent German ADAC.de tyre test - best with regard to fuel efficiency, and surprisingly also offering good wear characteristics (something Pirelli isn't really know for
)
The C (seems to be the brand name ?) Formula was the best regarding wear, with a bit higher fuel consumption.
Another good balance between wear and LRR was the Goodyear Optigrip.
Dunno if you can get these, as the US often gets different tyres.
