I just refilled so it's dropped down, but my last tank, just after refill, had me calculated at 677mi to empty (averaging 16.7mpg in the Ozarks).
Now, as far as what I ACTUALLY get? I'll have to reset the trip counter next time I fill up and check it.

Ive got 750 km on my truck since leaving the lot(466mi) and still have a little over quarter tank left of dealer gas. Mostly hiway at 130kph with heavy accelleration and four or five days of the 14 km round trip to work with a few burnouts just to see if id lay pegleg or full on strips.... i got strips im sure the stock tires helped lol. Its a 5.0 xlt 4x4 3.73 supercab with 6 foot box.i must have the bigger tank lol
My b4000 would suck back a tank in 300km running 33s but its tank was 60litres still sad its 4l v6 with all of 200hp on a good day got worse mpg than a fullsize truck with almost twice the power and 1000cc bigger engine.

Well for me to get 25mpg on the freeway my basic rules are don't go much over 70, avoid using the AC and cruise control, and I also run a mix of regular and premium gas (not sure if that makes a difference though). And I have the stock 265/60r18's and 3.55 gears in a regular cab which helps. These wheels are a lot lighter than the 275/55r20's. The biggest thing though is cruising speed. Gotta keep it at 70 and deal with staying in the right lane while lots of people pass me. If I cruise at 81-82 i get about 20mpg...still good.

2014 Tremor 5 weeks at my new job, 98 mile round trip every day, my lifetime has come back up to 18.2 from 17.5, least I have gotten was the first week at 513 miles, I pushed it on the 3rd week and got 559 miles. The ride to work includes hwy at 65 for a short distance and back roads with relights and stop signs from 25mph to 55mph, the ride home is always with a/c blasting. avg mpg has shown as much as 22.3 with a typical around 21.5, real time check shows truck computer about a .5mpg off, I have been getting the sticker advertised of 16-22

Haha! That 36 gallon tank is great! That was about a month ago. I filled up last week at it was at 722 miles and my average is up to 18.7. I don't reset it and that's the way its read for quite some time. I love my Ecoboost. I drive as "normal" as I can to stay out of the turbos. I live in Houston, so its flat but I drive in the city mostly and I'm extremely impressed by the fuel economy on this truck in the city.
