Years ago I had a Dodge Caravan. Ran the mileage before and and after switching to synthetic. I figured at the rate I changed oil (about 4K+ intervals) I'd have to see a .5mpg increase to justify the extra cost of synthetic. I got over 1.5mpg increase. Plus there were times when the interval got bumped up because I lost track of miles. My bad.

I restrict my intake of fried chicken so my mileage is not affected too much (as in years per lifetime).
