G'Day F-150 folk,

So, I've had my truck about 2.5 months. I've just done my first service at 3K miles. My fuel mileage has been OK. Not great. I'm just commuting to work, ~20 miles, 55-60mph no stops. Easy backcountry road.

I've made a few longish trips over the holidays, and one trip back fighting a massive headwind for 4 hours. I'm averaging 23.1, with a best 24.3. I'm OK with that.

The on-board computer is quite optimistic. It says I'm well into the 26 mpg range. It doesn't quite get the fuel usage right. That's why its computation is off. Perhaps it'll get better...I don't really care all that much.

I just added a bedrug...my roll-n-lock tonneau will be here this week. Not looking for an economy boost, I just need to protect the contents in the bed.

At any rate, thought y'all would like to hear what another F-150 is doing in the real world.




Cheers..

-JB

This post might do better in the '15+ area. Just sayin'

that sounds about right... i just got my 2016 EB 2.7 Screw 4X4 for 3 days... so far the MPG has been horrible for the first 200 miles. i guess around 15MPG range.

Those are optimum condx for getting good gas mileage, its great that you can harvest those numbers with your 2.7. It sounds like you picked the right drive train for the task at hand. I agree the onboard computer lies - that's mentioned frequently on the forum.

Mine was around 19 (all 3-5 mile trips, lots of stop lights, traffic), but dropped to around 17.5 when "winter" came and I started using the remote start. Still love the 2.7, though.
