My take is weather and idle times. You're dumping fuel during a longer cold-start in colder months.

Toyota's 0w20 is reportedly some of the thinnest stock you can get, which should have great MPG's.

Though I've heard that high quality ester base (not sure what Shaeffer's uses) helps oil stick to metal and perhaps quiet it down which may have an effect on reducing friction.
