It did nothing as far as make the car go farther on a gallon of gas.
You would think if there was anything to the claims its "better" than conventional oil they would take identical cars and run one on regular and one on synthetic until they break.
But they dont. Probably because then synthetic oil would be exposed as just an expensive excercise in mental masturbation.

Was gas any cheaper in Alaska?
