Will it make any difference to economy if I put my draggy, all season tyres on the back of the car in summer or, apart from grip, make no difference as the total amount of drag will be the same?

I currently have all season tyres in the front and Dunlop sport blues on the back, was thinking of just swapping the wheels round until winter

Marginal. And correct to keep the stickier rubber on the back if you must run different types of tyre.

Mixed tyres?!? Different types on front and back?!?

This is one of my cardinal sins, so I can offer no advice.
