Ecoboost only---real world mileage.

Back on topic:
Just finished a 2500 mile round trip from Salt Lake City to central Texas and back
3 people in the truck and a ton-o-crap in the bed. Weather and wind on the way were terrible, weather on the way back was mostly better.
Gas used as reported by the truck was less than reported by the pump, but the miles reported driven by the truck were low by the same percentage as reported by the GPS so I'm calling it a wash.
elevation profiles:
Going via Gallup, NM:
Returning via Santa Fe, NM:
Best day was 20.3mpg
Worst was 17.0mpg
Average on entire trip was 17.9mpg
When you get above 65mph, the fuel economy really starts to drop

Inebriated 4 ur safety
I think that anytime you are in line to gain something either monetary, trade, or barder from "advertising" a particular product on these forums then the forum should get a cut for you using their forums for your gain. There are some suppliers on here that do not sell direct to the public and do it through various vendors yet they are considered vendors because they ultimately have something to gain from the "advertising" of their product. You may not agree with me on what I or other members on here consider as a vendor, but I will tell you that I will go out of my not to buy from vendors or suppliers not supporting this forum yet do their form of "advertising" here. I believe that is wrong, and believe the forum should get a cut since they are doing the leg work to keep this forum running that you gain from your "advertising". I think you should pay for vendor status and I will report non-vendors any time I see you or anyone "advertise" for their product. I will also not even consider your or anyone elses product until you either quit "advertising" it without a vendor status or gain vendor status since you have something to gain from the "advertising" you do. I may be alone in this but that is the way I see it, and has nothing to with your product itself.

First few tanks were in the 15.5 range. I was hoping as mentioned it would get better as the engine broke in. I am now around 1500 miles and getting 16.5-17.5. I was getting 20.5 on the hwy headed down 95 to Savannah. Not sure how much better but I'm happier than I initially was.

I also think its telling that our non-vendor-but-profiting "technical support" claims said product cures all ills, about 10 distinct "problems" so far.

It turns out that "tuner boost" does, in fact, have a store front and web site where he sells his products. So, he is, in fact, promoting his products, that he sells, here without vendor status.
It also turns out that he's been banned at least twice from other forums for promoting his products without vendor status. He's even attempted to disguise himself as other users to promote his products.

So what kind of mileage are you getting with your aftermarket CAC and disconnected Bov tubes while noticing oil in your driver side turbo intake which you surmised as being from the fresh air side ?

2012 FX4 16000 miles. 3:73 gears. I live at 6,500 ft., and most of my driving is 60-75 mph. I typically get 21 mpg. The other day on a 90 mile round trip - 24 mpg. Not sure what happened there. In town, I'm lucky to get 17 mpg.
Don't know if it makes a difference, but I run mostly pure gas - non ethanol.
Keeping in eco and out of boost, definitely makes a difference.

That 6500 ft. altitude does give you a huge break in gas mileage sometimes, especially on the level or slight down cline run. I noticed it in 78 with a 350 Blazer with 327 port and polished heads, high lift cam, dual exhaust, Ofenhouser high rise manifolds, it gave its best mileage across NM. Very little wind resistance up there and the engine really breathed while running 65 mph on the I State.
