Default I know its been discussed at length but, I need some fresh opinions.

I have been using Mobil 1 0w-40 for the past 5k miles, and I am considering summer oils as opposed to the W, due to above average rate of change. I am not seeing any problems with my current selection, however I would like to see some mpg improvement.
I never really trust any marketing jive to be fact so I turn to you all for some experiences.
Im currently looking at redline, Amsoil, Agip and Motul. anyone have any recommendations?

Default Gas milage improvement 3 percent!

How are your tires? If you were to go with a larger diameter tire - say with a 28 inch tire at 255 45 19 you would improve gas milage and decrease your speedometer error at the same time.

Sorry, but can give no advice on motor oil. Better use some though. :-)
