Senior Boarder Posts: 311 Re:Royal Purple Oil and Nitrogen Enriched gas + MPG.. 2 Years, 11 Months ago   StarMyram wrote: I've wondered how much different oils affect power, economy? I dumped the factory-fill 5w30 oil out of my 6.o Liter Chevy and put in 5w30 Full synthetic at 1,300 km. I could swear it has a little more power. And the economy computer says its getting 2-3 MPG better on the highway with the syn oil. Always use regular grade Co-Op gas in my work trucks. The new shell gas is supposed to clean out any carbon deposits in an engine. I can see this new N2-enriched gas really being a benefit to our RoadStar engines, I bet it will work just dandy... Anytime you can get rid of depsits and reduce your "frictional horsepower" losses in your engine you gain some power and economy. GM claims that factory-filling their differentials with 75w90 Synthetic (as opposed to 80w90 Dino) will gain 0.5 miles per gallon better gas mileage in a pickup truck. Especially in cold climates like we have here. Can't say much for nitro enriched fuel but did notice a difference in performance when I went to synth in my Roadie. Changed from Yamalube 10-30 to synthetic Lucas 20-50 and she pepped up quite a bit. Wanna try Royal Purple next and see if there is a difference between that and the Lucas, I'll keep y'all posted. Just for the record I average between 43 and 46 mpg right now.   Logged     There are OLD BIKERS and there are BOLD BIKERS, but there are NO OLD BOLD BIKERS!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #202134 BigBoyinMS (User) I'm satisfied never being satisfied. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1705 Re:Royal Purple Oil and Nitrogen Enriched gas + MP 2 Years, 11 Months ago   Doesn't seem to have made any difference with the roadie but I changed oil in my Dodge Ram Cummins to the Rotella Syn 5W40 and gained 2-2.5 mpg instantly. I check every tankful and didn't believe it until the 3rd time I checked it.   Logged     2006 Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #202188 Ratl (User) Time is just, priceless and it expires. Gold Boarder Posts: 850 Re:Royal Purple Oil and Nitrogen Enriched gas + MPG.. 2 Years, 11 Months ago   We're at that time of year again. Some of the vendors will switch to the non-ethenol gas during the summertime. We'll get 15% - 20% better mileage on straight gas over the blend. You have to look for them. Costco, Sams Club and a lot of independants wont switch back. Around here, Chevron stations seem to be gas only and they have the techron in it, so it keeps the engine a little cleaner. Of course, as we get back on the road, the prices are getting jacked back up too. Oh well, can't win 'em all. Ratl.   Logged     Some days you\'re the bug.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:Royal Purple Oil and Nitrogen Enriched gas + MPG.. 2 Years, 11 Months ago   I've run about 3 tanks of the Shell gas in my Roadie and really didn't see much difference than the Chevron I use. Sometimes you just have to use whats availible where your at.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access.
