You're trying for two opposite goals: you want a lower weight oil for fuel efficiency, and probably a higher weight oil to reduce oil consumption. The main job of oil is to lube the engine, so I'd worry more about consumption- it doesn't matter what slight improvement you get in gas mileage you get if you're always adding oil.
