I don't believe running the oil at or near the low level produces enough beneficial fuel savings to counter the risk of engine damage. Small cars use 3-4 quarts and the oil helps to keep the engine running cooler, so I don't see any "real" savings. I recommend using the oil weight that the designers engineered for all vehicles.
