REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL WITH AMSOIL

Industry tests have shown improved fuel economy of 2 - 5% in vehicles using synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customer testimonials tell of even greater savings. If all cars in America used AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and drive train fluids, we would save enough fuel to drive to the sun and back 165 to 420 times over.* DocumentationThe numbers in this calculation were based on 1998 data on Domestic Motor Fuel Consumption by Type of Vehicle, 1970-1998.* 1998 was most recent year for complete data, but each succeeding year has seen an increase in these numbers, so it can be postulated that the numbers would actually be higher. Domestic Fuel Consumption Data CARS Fuel Consumption, All Cars 72 billion gallons 2% OF 72 BILLION = 1.44 Billion gallons of fuel consumed 5% OF 72 BILLION = 3.66 Billion gallons of fuel consumed Average miles per gallon: 21.4 miles per gallon at 2% = 30.8 billion miles (1.44 x 21.4) at 5% = 78.3 billion miles (3.66 x 21.4) How far is 30.8 billion miles? DISTANCE TO SUN = 93 million miles Round Trip 186 million miles To Sun & Back = 165 round trips if fuel use is reduced 2% 420 round trips if fuel use is reduced 5% DISTANCE TO MOON = 238,857 miles Round Trip = 477,714 miles Trips to Moon and back = 64,473 round trips if fuel use is reduced 2% 163,000 round trips if fuel use is reduced 5% TRUCKS Fuel Consumption, All Trucks = 30.8 billion gallons Documented fuel savings by switching to AMSOIL lubricants in engine and throughout drivetrain = 8.2% 8.2% OF 30.8 BILLION = 2.52 BILLION Gallons Fuel usage, average miles per gallon for over the road trucks = 6.4 mpg 2.52 billion gallons @ 6.4 miles per gallon = 16.128 billion miles that U.S. trucks would be able to travel on the fuel saved by switching to AMSOIL.This equates to 86 trips to the sun and back.(16.128 billion divided by 186 million) Or 33,760 trips to the moon and back. (16.128 billion divided by 477,714)BOTTOM LINE: AMSOIL Saves You Money * p. 640, U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States, 2000 But there is another way to reduce oil usage. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are designed for extended drain intervals. Fewer oil changes means less oil used. Keep America on the road with AMSOIL, the original synthetic motor oil. Made in USA Know the Facts - AMSOIL Saves You Money! *Based on U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the U.S: 2000 No. 1049, Domestic Motor Fuel Consumption by Type of Vehicle
