Smile Is Mobile 1 0W30 okay to use?

Just picked up a 2000 manual with 183k miles two days ago and would like to change the oil. I can't seem to find 0w20 oil but can find 0W30 Advanced Fuel Economy. Would it cause a noticable difference in mpg?
Thanks!!

wow, the insight has proven to run past 300k, but 1883k is truly impressive.

if you can't find 0w20 at walmart, or autozone, get the dino 0w20 from the local honda stealer.

there would be some efficiency loss by running 0w30.

I run 0w-30 Mobil1 and can do about 70mpg on the freeway if it's flat.
