I know that there are 5W and 0W racing oils out there. As for standard oils, some cars now use 0W16 oil. I wonder how much the oil viscosity actually affects efficiency within reason.

Realistically the fuel efficiency difference between, say, 5w20 and 5w30 oil is probably under 1 percent from the research I did, under most conditions anyways.
