Yep, applesauce You can also add up to a cup of sour cream (if you have it on hand) to make it more moist and really good. Sounds gross, but I promise it's not!
I use olive oil in brownies all the time and they turn out great (you can taste the flavor a little bit in the batter but not after they're baked). I think they make them moister too!

Plain yogurt (especially greek yogurt) works well also. Its one of my fave oil subs.
I didn't know this! Wow, thanks for the tip. I looooooove Greek Yogurt (so nutritious!!), and have tried the applesauce trick before, but never yogurt. Now I'm excited to try it
You can also use 12oz of seltzer water or soda. In that case it is just the soda and the cake mix. No oil or eggs. It won't be quite as dense but very moist and lower in calories.
Re: NBR: Can I sub something for the oil in a standard cake mix?
I do have applesauce. I'm going to try that. Hope it works, because if it doesn't my mom will surely let the room know!
You can use the crisco, same measurements.

I've heard this is a very good alternative
Crisco will work, or if you have a pudding cup that will work well too. The pudding cup makes your cake sooo moist!
