Switched...
Motor oil to Mobile 1 full synthetic (the new formula) and i noticed an imediate increase in gas millage.
Before was at 17.6 mpg changed the oil at half a tank After I got 18.4 mpg I used a fram oil filter also. I also have to add that I was not that forgiving on the gas ped. as I was showing off and did a few burn outs.

That's interesting... I wouldn't think changing the oil would affect the mpg at all. Good news though

That's good to hear, I did the same thing, went to Mobil 1 fully synthetic, but I'd suggest another filter as well, I use Napa Gold filters.

Well if that is the case, you could argue the more expensive synthetic oil pays for itself with the mpg increase
