So how much savings (in terms of /48) do you estimate if all networks
world wide change from using /64s for all transfer networks to /112.../126 
(depending on the number of nodes)?

Changing the /64 recommendation for "normal" LAN segments (with autoconfig
etc.) is something I'd see quite some value in - more wiggle room to the
front - but as has been said before "this is going to be hard and painful".
