While I could believe a small increase due tot he first 20 minutes of driveing beyound that though at operateing temp their is very little difference between a 0W30 and an SAE30. Granted all of M1 30Wt.'s are thin but even then not going to see that large of a difference.Too many variables that you are not accounting for. Too big of a difference. Espcialy when so many other people can go from a 5W20 to a 5W40 and not notice any difference in MPG. So while I am I glad you spent less in gas I am not believeing tht you had a 1/2 gallon difference in fuel consumed just by changeing oil from SAE30 to 0W30!
Mobil 1 0w-30, I have some small results!

The FACT is that you'll save more money by cutting out needless trips than by switching to a lower viscosity.
As buster said, 2% is about the best proven improvement. Anything more is unlikely...the definition of unlikely is: the same as the difference between Slim and None, with Slim having left town.

Why can't we call the OP's contention what it is: One more hideously uninformed, but truly false and biased opinion, not to mention an impossibility that is so obvious, to state it anyway constitutes a lie??
Why anyone would take up a discussion over (t)his stuff, I'll never know.

Do I think a visc change can help? yes. Do I think it will help? no.
Wind resistance, barametric pressure,humidity,temp,air inflation of the tires, condition of the engine and all of it's associated parts, how agressively you drive that day, any trafic, idle time, neighbor kid sucking fuel from your tank to got banging up mail box's, etc..........
