Someone only driving short city trips would expirience VERy different results using FSS.
Those driving 80's era vehicles and using dino oil should ignore all extended interval threads. Its not applicable to their engine.

I think that this is a key issue. I am very light on the throttle and drive about 35% in town and 65% highway and get OBC mpg of 23 which is testament to my light throttle. I think that this helps me extend the oils life.
