Hi,
What do you mean with engine oil consumption in relation to a thinner oil?
I was thinking about picking up this ELF 5w30 Evolution that they advertise that reduces "increases up to 8% fuel consumption" which I know is pure marketing, but at least it mentions it, others don't --so there might be some truth there. Second option is this 5w40.
thanks
Alex
