    Good luck gaining any more mpg, I drove 5 miles a day in my car and never got better than 14-16 city.

    Tanks lasted maybe 225-250 miles, but 14-20 days per fill up and I never cared.

    Royal purple is too rich for me, it's no better than vavloline syn and thats way cheaper.

    the royal purple products will be a one time only thing , just as the K$N filter. i actually went to wally world to get mobil one and thought what the heck. might as well . the only reason i bought the OVERPRICED K$N filter was i needed to add something to an order to get the free shipping and the filter put me just inside the advanced auto minimum of 75$.
    both the RP products boast increased fuel mileage , so now i can speak with experience ...BULL SH*T !!!
    i'll stick with M1 products and change every 6 months. 10w-30 may-oct ...5w-30 nov-april

    i just don't get why some of us get such poor mpg , and others do so much better. i often ask GTP drivers when i see them out and about , about their mpg and it's ALWAYS much better than mine. usually the 17 to 20 range is the answer i get and even higher numbers from the GT drivers.
