I didn't see any noticable improvement in fuel economy when I switched to synthetic. But I do my own service, plus Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 at 3.99 (O'Reilly's) a quart it's too good of a deal to pass on.

It is dino oil, but its been severe hydroprocessed. But it's suppose to be one of the best grpIII oils out there as is Valvoline Synpower. Let us know how it runs!
