What are you guys getting for fuel economy?

[Carnious]

I’ve got the 3.55 rear axle, and after driving home from the dealer on the highway, I got about 10L/100KM.
Since then, I’ve put on a bed cover, and reset my fuel economy. I went on a super easy road, and “hyper miled” it, and got about 7.5L/100KM.
But typically I think I’ll be seeing 10L/100KM I would assume, or slightly better on the perfect days.
-Calculating out my range on a 10L/100KM tank at 136L, I have a range of 1360KM, which is amazing!
Or if I was able to hypermile it on a trip, at 7.5L/100KM I’d be looking at 1813KM range, which is just nuts!
What do you guys typically see?

My average is ~17.5-18 mpg. No level, stock tires still (just hit 44k miles today). My daily commute is about 8-10 miles each way, which I'm sure is contributing to my low mileage. A few times a year, we take a 1000 mile round trip over the weekend or for holidays.

At the beginning of the month, we took a 3k mile trip from Oklahoma to Wyoming and back. Got 19.87 mpg over the course of that trip (per tank average was 18-22.4).

Edit: values reported are hand calculated, the dash always displays 1-2 mpg higher.

Mostly tow a camper that weighs around 5,200 to 5,300 pounds. 11 to 12 MPG depending on how many hills have to be negotiated.

For casual driving, I use my Civic which is designed to get good milage; and it does.

In Eco mode mostly, I get about 18 for around town so to speak. On the road the other day I got 25.1 at 75 mph.

Surely this was downhill or with a massive tail wind, or with the 2.7L.

My platinum with 3.5EB has 3:31 rear, light weight AT tires that are only a couple pounds more per tire, and 34" versus stock 33". I am leveled in front. I know my level, slightly heavier tires don't help, but I'd love if my truck got a couple more mpg than it does.

On flat road, no wind, doing 70mpg, I can maybe eak out 20 mpg. If I'm in town or short trips, I'm seeing 15-16. Anything outside of optimal conditions and I get 15-16. I have never seen anything over 20 except for a short burst of downhill, tailwind, doing 45mph, etc.

Nope Houston to San Antonio.

 

[rpold150]

I live in west Houston (Katy). I bet if I made that trip, doing 75, I'll probably get 19. I just don't see how there can be that much difference in the mpg of these trucks.

 

[OGKC]

I average around 15.5 mpg.
2021 3.5 ecoboost. Fox 2.5s is about a 2-2.5” lift. 35” tall e load range Falken wildpeak tires.
CV Fab intercooler and catted down pipes.
I think if I were to run it down the highway for a trip I would see about 21/22 mpg.
I also live in Colorado so up and down mountains all the time and I routinely tow an 8000 pound camper. Towing flat at 75 I can get about 12. But the mountains screw that up badly so 10 ish.

17 mpg 85% around town. Very little highway.

 

[My 2ND Ford]

21 3.5 ,3.31 rear. Stock tires, no level, 157 wb. Soft tonneau cover. Bare truck, flat terrain , 23-24 mpg highway, about 70 using Eco mode. If I mount our two bikes on the hitch, mpg will drop to 21-22 on the highway. It's amazing how much drag the 2 bikes produce. Back and forth to town about 17 mpg. Compared to the trucks I have owned, this thing absolutely sips gas.

Here is my display today after 2 round trips from I10 and Fry to Gessner, added in to my trip on Monday.

When I topped off to come home on Monday, it said I had 510 miles to empty. I think it was the gas I got at Buc-ees! LOL!

 

[Tilstad]

14mpg. I have a heavy right foot.

 

[Jaydub]

I just completed a ~550 mile trip, including a mountain pass. I took the same route back, so it was equal amounts uphill and downhill. It was probably 80% highway, 20% backroads and towns. I got 23.5 MPG. On my commute, which is 75% highway, 25% city, I get about 20-21 MPG. I don't drive just around town much, so it's harder to tell, but it seems like 15-16 MPG.

If I calculate the mileage manually, it's around 1 MPG less than what the trip meter says.

You're close to me. I'm at Barker Cypress/I-10. I usually get gas at Costco or Bucees. 510! Is that with a 26 gallon tank? I don't think I've ever seen more than 440, and it's usually right around 400.

Yes 26 gallon tank. I've been getting Exxon gas from the station at Kingsland and S Mason, they seem to have good pricing for Tier 1 gas.
