Mobil 1 0W-30 Advanced Fuel Economy

I decided to try out Mobil 1 0W-30 Advanced Fuel Economy to test the claims of an additional 2% more fuel efficiency vs conventional motor oil.

According to that I should see about a 0.85 mpg gain in the winter and a 1.1 mpg gain in the summer.

I understand small changes are difficult to track especially since my gas mileage can easily change 5+ mpg from one tank to the next.

I will report any findings over the next several tanks.

If anyone else has any results from using this product or any other 0w-30 product (as I'm sure almost all 0w-30 oils will have a lower viscosity then their 5w-30 or 10w-30 counterparts) feel free to chime in.
