The EU has a standardized method for measuring and reporting tire rolling resistance. Efficiency values are available online as part of the ordinary specs of the tire.
The US does not have a similar system. But California has something similar in the works. I'm looking forward to making use of this data in the future:
 
We had a scale from A to G and now it's changed to A to E. From 7 to 5 levels it seems but it is actually from 6 to 5, because in the old system the letter D was only the centerline which could not be achieved making it a bit misleading since a C and E tire could be almost the same.
