This is why I would like this to be a voluntary standard test. For the average cheap tire who cares? I don't want to pay extra to know that it might return + or - .25 mpg compared to something else. But I'f a few companies want to produce specific higher end LRR tires then they can do the test against a standard as a marketing tool.
