Is synthetic going to go up...and if it does...WHY???

Here is a Mobil 1 FAQ where they dance around the PAO question- can you read between the lines?

Group 3 Base Oils

I resubmitted the question:
Question:
Have Group 3 Base Oils Been Substituted for Better PAO Base Oils?
I remember the Mobil 1 oils in the past proudly proclaimed that it was a PAO based oil. We all know the newer group 3 hydrocracked base oils are much cheaper to use than PAO based oils and are less stable in high temps. It would seem to me that if Mobil 1 still uses the better PAO base oils as their primary base oil, you would want to clarify it among those who are switching to other oils because of the ongoing internet talk that says Mobil has substituted group 3 oils for the better PAO oils.

Answer:
As we're sure you can understand, ExxonMobil does not discuss formulations publicly,as this information is proprietary. We would rather focus on the advanced technology and proven performance that our engine oils and other products offer to our customers. [SNIP plethora of self serving BS.] We want those facts Bla- Bla..

Perhaps everyone reading that trash should do something like it.
