You may get marginally better fuel economy out of a 0w-20, but you'll never be able to measure it. In extremely cold conditions, too, there may be a benefit. Look where I live. I've never "needed" a 0w-XX. However, there's generally nothing wrong with running a 0w-20 in a 5w-20 application. Mobil stands behind such a substitution.
