Ok, I used that article to make a comparison chart :



There are 7 tires, ordered from highest to lowest MPG.
Each tire gets points for it's rank.
If it's ranked first, it gets 7 points.
If it's ranked second, it gets 6 points.
The higher the number, the better the performance.
The tests are given equal weight.

In the above, the Yokohama has the highest total number of points, but ranks 3rd in MPG.

The Michelin Energy Saver, Ecopia, and Yokohama are the top-3 MPG tires.

The Ecopia is definitely becoming more intriguing to me.
