Fuel savings from triple0 coating

I've just read in Flight (p6, 10-16 Jan) that BA has achieved enough of a saving by painting an A318 with triple0 coating which reduces drag to justify painting a 777. However the report did not quantify the saving (presumably not available to the reporter). Can anyone give me a rough ideas of the sort of savings we are looking at?

Apparently between 1 and 2 %
