    I have driven about 10K miles on AMSOIL 0w-30. My mileage went from 49 to 52mpg. I also like the fact that I don't have to change it as often.

    I think I will stick with it unless there is a compeling reason not to. Does anyone have any comments?

    As the tires wear and get less sticky, the MPGs go up anyway. I used Amsoil for the first 70,000 miles after the OEM oil was changed, and saw no major difference based just on that.

    Didn't renew my membership with Amsoil so now I'm using whatever full synthetic is on sale. No major change in MPGs without Amsoil...
