What oil is better for high mileage?

Regardless of advertising hype, the brand of oil used in a car has no real effect on gas mileage. Clean new oil of any brand will make the motor run more efficiently and reduce engine heat somewhat through optimal lubrication, but the effect on gas mileage is negligible. Some arguments have been made that synthetics improve mileage, but it's not really enough to be quantifiable. Engine oil can contribute far more to engine longevity than gas mileage. In this respect, synthetics (e.g., Mobil1) have a demonstrable track record for being better in 4-cycle engines. The most important thing is to change oil (and oil filter) at regular intervals with oil of the weight specified by the manufacturer and maintain proper oil levels at all times.
