Winter Tyres: Better MPG and performance?

Are Winter or all season tyres better in the UK in terms of performance of the car (miles per gallon), noise and tyre wear during winter months? Would all season tyres perform better?

All season tyres are much better than summer tyres in winter but not as good as full winters in winter.
