Want to save 8% on gas mileage? Simple solution really. Switch to top grade synthetic engine oil and filters. If you argue, “Hey, they are more expensive than the cheapy ones.”, you’re right at the cashiers till, but not if you consider how many times a year you need to see that smiling checkout cashier face.

A few things happen when you switch to synthetic engine oil. Your engines performance improves so you earn back 8% back in gas mileage. So you only spend $92.00 rather than $100.00. That’s a good return on your hard earned dollar.

Here’s some figures:
Drive 25 thousand miles with a petroleum based…

goopy oil that needs a change every 3 thousand miles will cost basically $148.00 per year. Compare that now to high grade synthetic engine oil for the same 25,000 milestone at only $51.55.

You save $96.45/yr on your oil change, 7 trips to lube shop, your time, gas mileage consumption, and reduce your vehicle maintenance. So savings go way beyond $148.00

Too, you help improve your own backyard environment. The EPA estimates that 200,000,000 gallons of used oil are not disposed of properly each year. This is an incredible amount of pollution from only one product. The US uses 26% of the world’s lubricating oils alone.

Add 140,525,000,000 gallons of gasoline per year consumed by US citizens, a switch to synthetic oils (remember the 8% savings above) equals 5.6 billion gallons of gas saved every year, therefore there is less pollution.

This is now where our used oil goes:
40% is dumped on the earth or poured into sewers. 21% goes in our trash to the landfills. 19% is reused for other uses, 14% is recycled and 6% is burned. And we thought “no one was looking”.

The bottom line: reducing oil consumption by a factor of 8 times by choosing a high grade synthetic engine oil is a tremendous help to the environment, your vehicle, and your wallet.

Peace.
