Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a standardized (normalized?) set of data that can be used to compare LRR tires against each other. Or at least, I wasn't able to find one. I ended up going down a rabbit-hole of internet searches, reading lots of reviews and stuff.
My Prius needed new tires, but the OEM ones (Firestone Fuel Fighter) weren't readily available. And the few places that had them were charging an arm and a leg for them. Hence the internet rabbit hole.
My take-away was that most of the big names (Firestone, Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, etc) have fuel efficient tires. And they seem to be roughly comparable. Once again, I wasn't able to find accurate data to do a proper analysis. So this is just a subjective judgement.
I ended up buying Goodyear Assurance tires to replace my worn out Firestones, and the fuel economy seems to be roughly the same. I bought the Goodyear tires, simply because they were the least expensive at the time (at Tire Rack).
