Why the gas numbers being put in? Please don't answer. Don't really care but find it interesting people throw in other factors than the subject matter.
I'm making the point that debating over conventional vs. synthetic cost is not that important, because it is such a small part of total cost running a car 5000 miles. It's just noise compared to the Hundreds blown on burning gasoline. This is why I don't see the extra few candybars spent on synthetic as any big deal.
