I was using Mobil1 and I was averaging like 180mi per tank of gas with 1 bar left then switched to Greddy GR-3(I think) and my MPG jumped up a decent amount. I now get around 220-240 miles per tank with 1 bar left. If I drive highway only, I can get 260-280 per tank with 1 bar left.

Royal Purple 10-30, the car likes it doesn't burn oil. I might try Amsoil on my next change.

Been using Castrol Edge and I've liked it.

Go to Walmart and get the Mobil 1 full synthetic 5 qt jug for $21. Buy two of them.
This made me LOL a little. You kind of have to buy 2 jugs of M1 being that the consensus is that if you run M1 you burn oil. I ran M1 for the first 100k miles and would burn about a quart per oil change. I then switched to Valvoline synth Maxlife and would burn about a half quart. That motor lasted 214k miles. The new motor I'm trying Castrol synth and so far I haven't burned any.
