Gene,
I hear you and totally agree with you. Another occasional poster here, Salv, is a big believer in Mobil Special. He works for a Hyundai dealer in upstate NY and prefers the Special over the Super that switched to the Na-Ca detergent-dispersant combo.
With conventional oil formulations being on the cusp of GF-6, as long as your particular vehicle/fleet doesn't need, warranty-wise, Group III oils, it makes little financial sense to use them.
I know I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but for the newer BITOG members, as dNewton3 often says, in fleet applications, a professionally monitored UOA program is highly recommended and beneficial.
For diesel-equipped fleets, Chevron, the original developer of Group II+ oils, has some attractive oils in their Delo lineup that rival their synthetic Shell Rotella and Mobil Delvac competitors.
And in gas-equipped fleets, there are many smaller blenders that offer economically-priced Group II/II+ oils that will meet your needs.
I bet, if you PM Salv, and talk shop, he'd point you to some suitable source that is similar to Mobil Special. I'm thinking Hyundai uses it for their bulk oil here in Tucson.
