Synthetic oil for highway miles?

I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma and drive about 6,000 miles a month (highway mostly). Is it worth spending the money on synthetic oil? Keeping in mind I will be getting 14-15 oil changes a year.

The real question is why aren't you switching over to a clean fuel propelled car?
