Tyre Other Rolling resistance

I may a bit miserly but I like to reduce running costs wherever possible. Therefore I was wondering which current tyre brands have the lowest rolling resistance?

I seem to remember that Conti Premium Contact and Michelin ?SP3
were thought to good in this respect, according to car magazine tests.

I think you can buy economy tyres made especially for thast purpose.
The economy doesn't mean cheap tyres, but main producers making 'slippery tyres.
