good, no. but I've seen it before... Calgary - Edmonton, 125 kph, headwind the whole damn way, slowing down / accelerating constantly because of traffic, yep, that will do.

Wind is a killer for our trucks. Same trip (flat), same temperature, 13.x L / 100km one way (mostly tail wind), 15.x on the way back (mostly head wind)...

Didn't notice any wind on any of my trips. Either way, the trips were there n back which would minimize the average of head / tail wind.

Took her to the dealer. They checked a bunch of stuff to make sure the right sender and module was in the truck . Everything looked fine so they reset the ecu and said keep an eye on it.

Topped her off, was cheaper there, this time it took 47.5 liters and I got 292k. All highway. Gauge started to peel back from full at around 30k after the top off.
I've done all I can think of. There is no support from your manufacturer or dealer when it comes to a fuel consumption issue. I know for a fact there are people with identical drivetrains getting much better mileage . Christ I even owned one for a week before I gave it back and saw for myself.

It all falls within fords parameters. The end. My advice? Get the ecoboost if you have a choice. We have one and it makes the 5.0 look like a gas hog.

I was also told there is no break in needed, this is the economy you will likely expect from this vehicle.

If only there was a lemon law in Canada.

I picked up my xlt for $36.5k after taxes. I asked the people at ford what I might get for trade in on a 2015 xlt with the 2.7 Eco in a 300a package (mine is also a 300a load). It comes to appx 43k. The 2.7 is a $1600 option .

Mine was around the same price but after employee pricing and discounts, I got the truck for a lot less than the sticker price.

If the mileage does not improve by the 2015's release, I will seriously consider trading it in, depending on what incentives ford has at the time.

two comments : 1st IMHO I'd wait a year on the 2.7 ecoboost or stay with the 3.5. 2nd your not likely going to get any incentive on the 2015; it's the 1st year of the highly anticipated next generation F150. Good luck.

Maybe I'll try n see what I get for trading it in on a similarly equiped '14 Eco Boost.

Wait, I got 330 k, and am at a half tank.... Maybe the reset did something.... Will fill you guys in on how this tank turns out. 150 k was freeway, the rest a mix of city n highway .

2014 5.0 4X4 Supercrew. Here is my current kilometers per tank. To fill it up the tank took 114L. My calculated L/100KM is 14.5. This was a mixture of 70/30 hwy/city and it has been cold outside.

i got an overall average of 13.5 L / 100km from Calgary to Vancouver and back this past week-end...
doing either 120 on a clear road, or 60 in 4x4 in the ****ty sections (probably about 1,200 kms out of the 2,100 total!), and about 150kms right in downtown Van.

not too bad considering the conditions!
