Just changed the oil for the first time in my 03 Denali.
Put mobil 1 Synthetic in it and have noticed about a one mile per gallon drop in average milage.
Should this happen? don't know which oil was in it before?

Oil shouldn't change it that much, I actually gained some power and smoother idle with my royal purple but I've never lost mileage from running oil. Seems like mobil 1 has been slacking lately and they aren't quite up to par.

I lived in Arizona when I got mine. Gas changes in Oct thru March to horrible oxygenated blend. Had an abrupt drop in Mileage at that time 3 to 5 mpg. Did Cal change their gas recently?
