Wondering about the noticeable differences with standard Mobil 1 10w-30 and Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10w-30 and Mobil 1 High Mileage? Any thoughts and/or stories of gains/losses?
Noticeable difference with Mobil 1 Oil choices?

Well, my guess would be you gain a lighter wallet because you lose more money.
But seriously, run whatever you think is going to give you better performance/engine life/ cleaning properties. Because as long as you have a decent oil change regimen it really doesnt matter.
Silverado has over 400k with the last 200 being ac delco oil filter and oriellys house oil. The 5.0 in my f150 just went 310k with motorcraft filters and whatever is on sale oriellys 10w30, Pennzoil straight 40 etc.

you wont notice a thing between conventional oil and full synesthetic.
in the end oil is oil. my last oil change i went to mobile 1 full syn, it still drinks some. still turns black. more importantly it didnt cause any oil leaks. iirc it was like 30 bucks 5 qt jug and a qt. buy it at walmart, cheapest price you'll find local, for any of the oil they sell this goes for.

wow, I doubt I will ever get past 300k the way I've been driving mine. Currently sitting at 234k

May I suggest lending it to @Mudsport96? It looks like he does a lot of driving and can take care of that for you very quickly. It looks like he takes care of his trucks, too...

NAPA has Mobil1 5W30 in 5 Qt. jugs for $29.95 this month. All flavors... Regular price is $45-$48 a jug. Dang good price!

I tried to just order the Mobil 1 that I use from Amazon but the delivery was for middle May and would have been too late for my trip to Mo. It was $26. I ordered the Extended Life Mobil 1 synthetic that was $28 and will be here tomorrow from Amazon.

I think Im pretty much done overpaying for Mobil1. I am currently running the walmart brand oil ($18/5qts) and the truck seems to like it fine. After that its the delco stuff until I am out of that.

5qt jugs of Mobil1 full synthetic are usually between $22-27 at Walmart, depending on which one I go to around here.

If you get whatever meets or exceeds whatever is spec'ed for your engine and change it when it needs to be changed, your engine won't care.
I exceed the required specs for mine with full synthetic diesel oil
