Synthetic oils save money
In May 2006 Land Line Magazine, the voice of the professional trucker, published a great article entitled "More miles, less fuel " that cited "Adjustments to truck set up and driving habits can -- over time - turn small fuel savings into more money in your pocket and less fuel through the tanks"...

Amsoil compared conventional lubes against all synthetics and replaced regular 15W-40 engine oil with their 5W-30. SAE/TMC tests showed an 8.2 percent improvement in mpg."
