Well, I've often wondered if the claims are true. If Synthetic Oil can improve MPG by 3 to 5%. So now that I have a bit more time on my hands now. I'm going to try and find out. My plan is to hook up the Scan-Gauge and record my daily MPG for at least 30 days. Then, sometime the first week of May. Change over the Crankcase, Transfer case and Rear-end to either Mobile-1 or Royal Purple. Then drive and record the daily MPG another 30 days. I've already proved that the Escape gets lower MPG in winter. Especially in the GPH (gallons per hour) categorie.
I know this is non-scientific test because, of all the variables. (and the Scan-Gauge lacks a true Fuel Flow measurement. Just changed the oil to regular Mobile 5w-20 the first of this month. Any suggestions to get this accurate as possible? If, I can find this thread after 30 days of driving. I'll put up the MPG figure. PK
