Taking a look at Mobil 1's new Advanced Fuel Economy engine oil.

We're all pretty familiar with Mobil 1 and their engine oils. I've been running it for years in my high-performance engines with great success. Well since the original Mobil 1 synthetic has been released, they've developed a variety of flavors. Their latest creation is the all-new Advanced Fuel Economy formula. Needless to say, I'm VERY skeptical about this engine oil. Such as where is the fuel economy coming from and does it come at the expense of protection? Mobil 1 claims that there is no reduction in the protection quality but it works in several different ways to help free up some power while reducing friction. This, overall, increases the engine efficiency making it more likely to push out better fuel economy figures.

It's funny to me that this product is now out with a green label. I know for a fact that it would be promoted as a HIGH PERFORMANCE oil just a few years ago but now it's being pushed as a fuel economy enhancer. Interesting? I believe so, too.

Either way, check it out. Give it a try. Tell us what you think. I may pour it in my daily driver since it has Mobil 1 on the label. I'm sure the gains will be negligible. I used their online calculator and it claimed I would save approximately $.05 per gallon. Save 18 gallons of fuel a year for a total savings of $49 annually.
