Improve Fuel Efficiency With AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants

Short supplies and ever-increasing demand have pushed crude oil barrel proces to record highs over the summer, and motorists have been directly affected. Gasoline is one of the primary products produced from crude oil, and pump prices are directly affected by the prices refiners pay for crude oil. In fact, the average price per gallon of gasoline reached levels over 50 cents higher than last summer, causing motorists to alter their driving habits and look for every and any way to get the most for their fuel dollar.

According to the U.S.Energy Information Administration (EIA). the price of crude oil represented an average of 42.6 percent of retail gasoline prices between 2000 and 2003, with refinery processing cost, marketing and distribution costs and gasoline station costs and taxes comprising the balance. It is the volatile of crude oil prices that is most responsible for fluctuating gasoline prices. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils have been shown to yield significant increases in fuel economy over conventional motor oils. Petroleum based lubricants are composed of irregular molecules of various sizes that create excess friction, in addition to the friction generated by moving parts. The vehicle's engine must burn extra fuel to overcome this friction, decreasing fuel economy. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, on the other hand, contain only smooth, uniform molecules that effectively reduce friction and improve fuel efficiency.

Conventional lubricants are also very suseptible to volatility. When the oil's lighter molecules volatize during hot operating conditions, viscosity increases and the oil becomes more difficult to pump, consuming more energy and reducing fuel economy. Because AMSOIL synthetic lubricants contain uniformly sized molecules, they resist volatization, maintain their viscosity and allow more fuel to be used for vehicle propulsion, improvong fuel economy.

The use of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, gear lubes and drivetrain fluids can have a profound impact on fuel economy. Industry tests demonstrate that an average passenger car can conservatively decrease its fuel consumption by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants, while independent testing shows that trucks can decrease fuel consumption by 8.2 percent. Many AMSOIL customers report even larger gains in fuel economy.

According to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, total U.S. fuel consumption was 162.3 billion gallons in the year 2000. Consider the savings if every American vehicle converted to AMSOIL synthetic lubricants and gained a five percent increase in fuel economy. It would equate to a savings of 8.115 billion gallons of fuel each year, at a pice savings of $24.35 billion (at $2 a gallon).

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the average passenger vehicle burned 587 gallons of gasoline in 2002. At a price of $3 a gallon, the average vehicle owner spends $1,761 on gaoline each year. With a five precent fuel economy improvement afforded with AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, the motorist saves $88.05 a year in fuel expenses. That's enough to cover the price of a year's supply of AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and Ea Oil Filters, with money left over.

In addition to fuel savings, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants also allow motorists to reduce oil usage through extended drain intervals, while significantly reducing friction and wear, improving engine performance and extending equipment life.

How Much Money Can AMSOIL Save You?

96 less gallons/year for a savings of $288/year.

How Else Can Motorists Improve Fuel Economy?

Efficient driving, proper maintenance and good planning can help motorists get the most out of their fuel dollars. The following tips help ease the burden of escalating fuel prices:

Efficient Driving
Avoid aggressive driving habits like speeding, rapid acceleration and braking. It lowers gas mileage by up to 33 percent at highway speeds. Gas mileage steadily decreases at speeds above 60 mph.

Avoid unnecessary idling. Vehicles get 0 mpg while idling.

Use cruise control. Setting cruiuse control while highway driving maintains consistent speed and saves gas.

Use overdrive gears to slow down engine speed, saving gas and reducing engine wear.

Use the ventilator of air conditioner and keep windows rolled up. It reduces engine workload and wind resistance, improving fuel economy up to 15 percent.

Proper Maintenace
Fixing out-of-tune vehicles improves fuel economy by an average of 4.1 percent. Replacing a malfunctioning oxygen sensor improves fuel economy by as much as 40 percent.

Regularly check the vehicle's air filter. Replacing a clogged filter not only improves fuel economy by up to 10 percent, it protects the engine.

Check tires for proper air pressure every two to four weeks. Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by about 3.3 percent.

Use the manufacturer's recommended motor oil viscosity. Using a higher viscosity oil than recommended decreases fuel economy by one to two percent.

Good Planning
Combine errands into one trip. Engines are most efficient when warmed up. Multiple short trips taken from cold start use up to twice the gas as one longer trip covering the same distance.

Avoid peak rush hours whenever possible to spend less time sitting in traffic and consuming gas. Take advantage of carpools, ride share programs and public transit not only save fuel, but vehicle wear and tear as well.

Reducing aerodynamic drag by carrying cargo in the trunk rather than a roof rack can improve fuel economy by five percent. Avoid carrying unnecessary heavy items. One hundred extra pounds in the trunk can reduce fuel economy by one to two percent.

With its unparalleled oil and warranty program, AMSOIL offers consumers unprecedented protection and economics.

Another AMSOIL First

More than 20 years ago, AMSOIL began using the NOACK volatility test as a comparison tool and measurement of quality. Back then, nearly every oil tested side-by-side with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils failed, and those that passed barely squeaked by. Other oil companies paid no attention to NOACK results until Ford Motor Company made it a requirement for service fill oils, validating what AMSOIL had said all along.
