Time for my second report on switching from Syntec 5-50 to Mobil 1
10-30...  still getting 25.6-7 mpg instead of the 24.5 I was used to,
and the ol' boat seems to start much more willingly.  Getting that 1/2
second thing 90% of the time now instead of 10%.  This has held up over
three tanks, and over 1000 miles.  Could be the oil, who knows?  I like
it, hope it continues.
