If you use six quarts of $5 oil for every 6000 miles you drive, you
are paying 1/2 cent per mile for oil compared to about 3 to 8 cents
per mile for gas and 1 cent per mile for the best tires money
can buy ($400 for 40,000 miles) and 2 cents per mile for insurance.
You are better off saveing money on gas.
