Attached is my MPG spreadsheet showing the relative performance of my OE GY Integrity tires for the first 44,500 miles and then my Michelin MXV4+ "Energy Saving" (read LRR) tires for about an equal number of miles (the Michelins are still going at 90,700 miles).

Note: Its not just the sidewall that determines rolling resistance. Most LRR tires use Organo-Silicates in the rubber compound to lower heat generation due to flexing.
