Thats exactly why I went with the Ecopia. I was going to go with the Energy Saver, but the price difference was HUGE.

Sorry, this is kind of a thread jack.

I'm now shopping for tires for the '97 Civic with 14" HX rims. Size 185/65-14.
Unfortunately many of the new LRR tires (including Ecopia) are not made in that size.

Available tires in 185/65-14 that I've found are:
Kumho eco Solus HM KR22 - 18 lb, 44 psi
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max - 16 lb, 51 psi
Michelin HydroEdge with Green X - 18 lb, 44 psi

Right now I'm leaning towards the Michelins. TireRack surveys and testing both showed it to perform better than the other two options. And Michelin was one of the first on with LRR tires, so they should know what they're doing there.

We got a european ranking on tires and the Ecopia is supposedly better in MPG than the Michelin according to that ranking (and quieter too).

Actually the Ecopia is the only tire that is rated A for both LRR and wet grip ...

My bad, I am referring to the Ecopia EP001 S !
