Better Fuel Economy

Fuel economy is becoming more important with each passing year. Gas and diesel prices keep rising, putting a major strain on businesses that rely on vehicles and heavy equipment in their daily operations. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants improve fuel economy by allowing moving parts to move more freely, using less energy and creating less friction than when conventional lubricants are used.

The use of AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils, Gear Lubes and Transmission Fluids can have a profound impact on fuel economy. Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative decrease in fuel consumption by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customers report even larger gains in fuel economy. Doesn’t seem like much? Imagine a fleet of 100 class 8 vehicles running an average 120,000 miles per year at an average 6.5 mpg with diesel fuel at $4.12 a gallon. Using those numbers, the fleet spends $7,606,153.85 on fuel annually. A switch to AMSOIL products improves the fleet’s mpg by 4 percent, reducing fuel costs to $7,313,609.47. That’s a saving of $292,544.38, enough for 71,006 gallons of fuel.
