Fuel economy impact between tires

Has anyone with an IS250 switched from the OEM Bridgestone Turanza ER33 to another tire and see a significant fuel economy drop?
I'm looking at replacement tires and my car is just for commuting, no need to have a very high performance tire or very expensive one. I prefer something affordable (i.e. Koreans would be good enough), but no unknown Chinese brands. >300 Trendwear rating would be nice though.
Any 1st hand experience on fuel economy number?

Sorry guys, I guess I should have asked the question differently.
Have you notice a change in fuel economy after you switch from the stock OEM tire to the new tire you installed? Wife currently gets 31-32mpg on her commute in the IS250, I get 29-31mpg on the IS250, what would I expect, say, when I switch to a typical tire like Sumitomo HTR Z III?
