It is tempting... anyone care to make an opening statement?

Duck,

I'm running 50 psi as well, up from 44 sidewall max. I think this may be the best, cheapest mpg upgrade there is!

Ecometer is awesome- made a big difference for me.

Syn oil may get a tenth or two extra mpg if the level of friction modification is comparable to the dino one was running previously. I'm running a highly friction modified 20 wt and honestly I doubt it's getting me more than 4 tenths and probably less. The big advantage in my opinion is the extended drain capability and the increased cleanliness of the syns which will help preserve mpg in the long run.

Great job keeping record-it's cool to have access to this kind of thing! I'm tracking mine regularly as well.

Thanks!

R2
