This just keeps getting better and better.

Now Mobile One isnt synthetic oil.

Are you calling them liars?

Wait a minute we agree then Mobile One doesnt improve gas mileage. Now we are getting some place.

It certainly is a test its my test and if I didnt get better mileage using Mobile One then as far as I am concerned IT DOESNT IMPROVE GAS MILEAGE.

I invite anyone who who thinks Mobile One is synthetic oil to join me in rejecting these claims.

But I'll tell you what. Im riding my motorcycle to AK and back leaving next Friday. I will keep track of the fuel I use (the oil is Castrol GTX) and if anyone wants to find me some synthetic oil I'll use that on the way back and run the test all over again. Mty bikes uses 10-40.

I agree with you though oil doesnt come from dinosaurs. It comes from molusks that lived in the ocean.

Or do you say different we might as well get this straightened out.

It is you who shouldn't be trusted. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if you just made that up to suit your point.

The oil companies have specific definitions they use to label what they sell. They do not always meet what we logically would think they mean. This is the same for all industries. They all have industry specific definitions they need to prescribe to.

Not to mention Mobil 1 lately has come under scrutiny lately because of certain tests other manufacturers have done.

A couple hundred miles never proves anything when it comes to automobiles. You can use anything you want to, but don't pretend to supposedly try something for a very short while and decide that you just had the ultimate test.

Just like adding soap to water makes it clean better, using actual synthetic oil makes cars behave better. To put it simply, if they did not why would anyone use them?
