I have 2 numbers
I have noticed on Subaru's 0w20 oil and Schaeffer's 0w20 Oil I hit around
30

However, on Schaeffer's 5w30 I get around 32. I hit 37.5 on my 1400 mile road trip to yellowstone and the tetons in WY

Has anyone else noticed a difference in oil weights with MPG?
There are likely other factors that explain the gas mileage improvement. 5w30 should yield lower gas mileage than 0w20... a big factor in so many cars using 0w20 from the factory now is to improve the gas mileage ratings for any given model of car.
