Just use a 30 weight. Any multivisc 30 weight. Don't worry about 5w or 0w.
If you're doing mostly short trip events, then you may choose a 20 weight. You're probably not at any sensible visc when you turn off the key..so the thinner the better. If you're doing sustained highway driving, then I'd stay with a 30 grade. Headwinds will alter your economy more ..tire pressure ..etc.
