Reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart will sport a special paint scheme at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. Stewart will wheel the No. 14 Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy Chevrolet during Saturday night’s Samsung Mobile 500. In conjunction with April National Car Care Month, the No. 14 Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy paint scheme is designed to help make motorists aware of the best ways to conserve fuel during the busy summer driving season.
Before this unique version of the No. 14 Chevy takes to the track under the lights Saturday night, the week kicked off with Stewart visiting a Dallas-area Mobil 1 Lube Express on Wednesday, April 11, to tout the benefits of an oil change with Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy synthetic motor oil, tying importance of fuel economy on the NASCAR track to the everyday motorist.
Stewart provided simple synthetic education, touting M1 Advanced Fuel Economy for summer driving season and, with help of Mobil 1 Lube Express staff, changed oil in a fan’s Chevy vehicle.
For the everyday driver, Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy oils deliver up to 2 percent* fuel economy improvement, according to the company. At $4 per gallon gasoline, that’s a savings of about 8 cents per gallon of fuel. Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy motor oils provide better fuel economy due to their lower viscosity, the company says, which means less energy is required to circulate the oil. This results in the engine being more efficient, which leaves more energy to drive the vehicle forward.

* Comparison based upon 2 percent potential fuel economy improvement obtained by switching from higher viscosity oils to a 0W-20 or 0W-30 grade. Actual savings are dependent upon vehicle/engine type, outside temperature, driving conditions and your current engine oil viscosity. Savings estimates are based on a gallon cost of $3 per gallon, average fuel economy of 27.3 mpg, annual mileage of 11,413, and lifetime mileage of 182,608.
