Ecoboost in Canada
Hey all I have a 2012 ecoboost screw with a 2.5 inch level kit and 20 inch wheels wrapped in 34.4 in trail grapplers. I'm averaging 21L/100km anyone else experiencing this sort of fuel mileage or have exhaust and intake getting better mileage.

That's crazy I thought these things were suppose to have awesome fuel mileage. We just drive my friends extended cab 5.4l back to Victoria from Calgary and it was getting like 13.4L/100km

My 2012 with 16k on the odo is averaging 14L/100km since new. This is mixed driving. I have seen it lower when I do alot of highway but have not taken it on an extended trip without a trailer in tow. I have the 3.73's and 20's.

The lift and the tires will do it every time.

Lift & larger tires, will lower your mileage for sure. More air resistance (from lift), more rolling resistance (from tires, stopping & starting) and now your engine has to work just that little bit harder to get moving, and keep moving (you've effectively lowered your gearing)
Stock '13 XLT SCrew 4x4, 6.5' bed, 3.73 here, but just rolled over 2222km this weekend.
Drove it 3 hours @ 120kph on the 401 Eastbound last week, then back Westbound the day after. Eastbound = 12.9l/100km, Westbound = 15.8l/100km, just the headwind caused that big of a difference.
I find I don't stick to a certain speed, as opposed to getting into a certain RPM range. I like to stick around 2000rpm, depending on traffic maybe a bit less, or a touch more.

Last weekend I drove from Lethbridge to creston and back and averaged 10.1 l/100km seems as long as I'm not fighting the wind( which is rare for this damn place) highway i usually am around 9.5-11 l/100km. City I average about 15.
Oh and I have 3.73
