That's interesting. My wife was in the hospitol 75 miles away so I (we) made several trips. The first run with the HM 10w-30 and I managed 22.4 mpg. I was at 13 months and 5k miles so I changed the oil and thought I would give API/ILSAC a try again. I put in Super Tech Syn 5w-30. Also, I changed the rear end oil from 80w-90 dyno to Syper Tech Syn 75w-140 Thought I would take a mpg hit on that one. The following hospitol trips were a solid 25 mpg. I hope this isn't a fluke!

That's a big jump in mpg! I didn't calculate my avg but IIRC, the 10W30 M1HM garnered me ~21 mpg or so. But I drove 99% local. Before the run on that oil, it was probably 26mpg with 75% local.

Gonna try this formulation out with the single qt of Redline for the Extra ZDDP ... figure it can't hurt.

Roughly 5,000mi on this oil. First winter in Wyoming and my commute is 4 miles round trip so I didn't want to stretch it out.
Stocked up on Mobil 1 at Wal-Mart and used the rebate for the oil and filter.
