What do the EU ratings for tyres actually mean?

The EU ratings on tyres range from A to G for both fuel economy and braking distances.

All things being equal can someone tell me what the theoretical drop in MPG is between a 'C' and 'G' graded tyre?

Next question the braking distances. Obviously the shorter the distance the better, but how many feet are we talking between a 'B' graded Nexen Roadian and a 'E' graded Cooper LTZ?

Yes I know that all sorts of factors will impact upon the results but there must be some theoretical answers.
Ta, Chris. Travelling around in circles again.

Well that was quick and to the point! Looks like Nexens' are more fuel efficient and better in the wet than LTZ's Whistle
If only there was a tyre with the Nexen's ratings and the LTZ's ruggedness? Travelling around in circles again.
