What oil do you use on your very high mileage Civic?

I have a 1992 Honda Civic VX with 260K miles that burns a little oil (no blue/white smoke tho). I'm trying to determine the best oil to use that won't compromise my fuel economy too much. Any recommendations? I'm currently using Gastrol GTX High mileage which is a blend (not full synthetic).
Thanks,
