Tank on Empty

Way to improve gas mileage

When I got my 2004 Impala LS it got 19.5 miles city and 26 highway. This was using regular oil 5W30 as called for in the manual. I switch to Full Synthetic Oil 5W30 and got a large increase in mileage. Current mileage using Full Synthetic is 25 city and 33 highway. I will never go back to natural oil again, it is more expensive to use synthetic however the savings in better gas mileage more than makes up the diffference.
