I'm also too stupid , too insensitive , too lazy to actually track consumption that detailed or the cars I drive don't really seem to care if I have 10 or 50 ppm in the tank but I cannot feel a difference or don't notice a difference on the distance I do on a tank.
The only thing I notice is that they smell different(50 smells more acrid) and there seems to be more smoke on 50. For consumption and power. meh. much of a muchness.
Use 10 when I can which keeps the oil cleaner.
