Have you trying adding pressure and check the economy again?
I've had the Conti CS3 tyres on several cars
They are a competent tyre, good dry grip, confident (but not awesome) in the wet, wear well, they crash and thump through pot holes. Overall a very good tyre but at that price, there are better options.
It's not rated very highly in reviews

I have the the Michelin PS3 tyres on my Octavia
Excellent in all respects, better sports steering response than the Conti
This tyre is consistently highly rated world wide

The Pirelli range are a bit out of favour these days
The P600's have great sports performance but wear out fast
Here are reviews of the P7 and Cinturato P1 (no review of the Cinturato P7 available) - not very favourable

Your old MIchelin Energy saver was rated better

For this month (April) Contental have a special offer on the MC5, buy 3 get 1 free - hard to beat that
I've just put them on the Mazda3 - initial impressions are good - noise/comfort is good - too soon to comment otherwise
This tyre is getting pretty good reviews (remember it's pretty new so feedback is limited)
