MPG seems to have increased

Recommended Posts

2015 FFH. My displayed mpg for my usual suburban driving has been in the 47s. However, lately it seems to have increased to 49-50. I remember at my last 10K service (early August) the dealer used full synthetic oil (0w15) instead of the previous synthetic blend 5w15. Might that be the difference?

Personally I would think it to be negligible but it seems that it can be a possibility at the expense of engine durability.

But there may be other factors at play. I remember my Honda CT110 wold be a beast* on a colder autumn morning because of the increased density of the cooler air over a warmer summer day.

*beast is also negligible terminology

0W15?  Do you mean 0W20?  I've always used 0W20 full synthetic in mine, but I don't think the difference would be more than a few tenths of a MPG.  More likely just the cooler temps and less use of the A/C.
