Be careful when comparing the average tire or other LRR tire to the Energy Saver A/S. in my testing I have found the Energy Saver A/S 195/65/15 to be 2-3mpg more efficient than the Prius OE Yokohama S33D and aftermarket Yokohama AVID Ascend. All tires had similar tread depth and conditions were very similar. TireRack.com also tested the Energy Saver A\S and showed it to be up to 3.8mpg more efficient than non-LRR but efficient tires like the Michelin Hydroedge and ComforTread tires. It's and extremely efficient tire!
