I have always got exceptionally good mileage out of my all season tyres. You'd imagine that their more 'aggressive' tread pattern would increase noise and reduce mileage  but this is not the case.

Its normal in the tyre trade to recommend replacing tyres at 3mm,Even summer tyres,  ,especially if you want good grip in snow.    Yet  Michelin claim their Cross climates give good grip in snow  right down to the legal limit of 1.6mm. (although some countries may apply a 3 or 4mm legal minimum  limit in winter)     This may be a reason to chose cross climates despite their cost.  But I'd still rather have 3mm despite what Michelins marketing people say .   
My IQ test came back negative

Have you noticed difference in fuel consumption between all-season tyres and summer tyres?

I used to run summer and full winter tyres on a Yaris.  The fuel economy was affected significantly more by the season temperature than by the tyres.
With a decent brand modern all-season tyre I really wouldn't worry.
I have Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons 3 on my current Yaris, excellent tyres all round, hot/dry grip probably not up to full summer tyres but wet/cold is good. Noise is good, economy fine.

I keep accurate records on Fuelly. Over 6 years with CCs, no measurable differences vs 5 years on conventional tyres. Driving style, routes,traffic  and  weather made more impact.

I had Vitora SportLife tyres fitted on both Jazz's. They've been really good for most weather conditions. The first set went on in 2016 and will be good for another 6/12 months. The second set have been on the other Jazz for two years and they still look practically brand new.
