Anybody tried Mobil 1 0w-20?
Hot weather and ac has been killing my mpg, last tank I averaged 14 mpg. I was thinking of trying mobil 1 advanced fuel economy synthetic 0w-20. According to them, recommended for cars that use 5w-20.
Any thoughts?
Heres a link to the specs

i used 5w-20 on mine and it was a great choice. I got average mpg of 26 with mixing city and hwy. If on the freeway, i usually used cruise control and get unbelievably 30mpg. On the other hand, if i drive in the city, my mpg is very low around 18-20. I just stick with 5w-20. Maybe you just push the pedal too hard hihih

There has been some talk on the web of Honda considering a change to 0w-20 oil for all its cars that now use 5w-20, in addition to those cars that already specify 0w-20.
Some of the thinking goes that the thinner oil will yield better gas mileage, if even only tenths of a mile, it matters over milliions of units and how HONDA meets CAFE requirements. Then there are those cars that still require 5w-30 such as the RDX and Civic Si. In the case of the RDX, that is also synthetic Mobil 1 only.
If you do change, let us know if it makes a noticeable difference.

i think it still comes down to ac with city driving. i was watching my trip computer and it goes down by .1 every 2 mins while idling with ac. I will watch it again with no ac on.
