Question Rotella T Synthetic

Anybody tried the new Rotella T synthetic 5w 40? I saw it at walmart for 12.84/gal or 3.21/qt, much cheaper than mobil 1. I am about to do my second oil change at 2600 miles. Did the first at 840 just to remove any crap from build. I will let everyone know if it helps with mileage, am getting right @ 15 all in town(service truck).

I just put it in my 05 F350. I noticed the pryo fell a little quick, but after 2 tanks I have noticed no improved mileage, mine has 2200 on it.

I have been running it in my early 03 for about 4500 miles. I like it for the colder fall winter months, but no way of knowing here. It has been like summer weather. Mileage is about the same. I will change in about 500 miles and use it again. I like the 5-40 wt for winter.
