What do you mean better rolling resistance? I thought RE92s provided the lowest rolling resistance and the best fuel economy....don't non-RE92s and especially winter tires add rolling resistance and reduce fuel economy?
I ran Michelin Energy Savers at 60 PSI on my first Insight and loved them. They finally dry-rotted to the point that my son didn't feel comfortable driving on them and he swapped them out with new RE92's. It took him a while to break in the new ones and his mpg suffered from the new tires

The point being: don't expect great mpg for the first couple thousand miles on any new tire you choose
