Anyone in North America using Elf oil?

Is anyone in North America using Elf Excellium Full Tech 0W30? I heard that it's only one of three oils in the U.S. that meets the GM LL-A-025 specification since Saab Synthetic Long Life Oil stopped being sold. One Mercedes board (forgot which one) is saying that there's less metal in the oil analysis than Mobil 1 0W40.
Anyone believe this? I found a few (very few) online places that sell Elf oils. The oil costs about $8.50-11 a litre. This compares to some Mobil 1 0W40 that I just got for $3.15 a quart (6.49 down to 5.99 with a coupon and down to 3.99 with a rebate from the store down to 3.15 with Mobil Rewards, similar to a frequent flyer program except one can get merchandise or PepBoys gift cards). One news reports says that they will be Total branded soon since Total is now the parent company.
