Default my ecoboost mpg numbers from my trip

These numbers are from today,from navarre beach,fl to grimsey,tn.
2012 ecoboost max tow 4x4 3.73 supercab.


I will also add that i had to drive the speed limit to achieve these numbers.On the way down i got 19.1 but i drove 80 quiet a bit.On the way back i never broke 75 and mostly drove 70.Oh yeah i have a friend with a 2010 2wd supercrew with the 5.4 who made the same trip and he said he got 16,but he said he ran it 80 most of the way.

Get you a tune and your MPG will go up 1-2 mpg.

Did your math figure the 3 stops and stretches of 2 lane roads with red lights?

With 500 miles you can assume a **** break or two. He has no reason to lie about his average speed. Great numbers for a 4x4 by the way.

I didn't say he lied was just trying to figure the math. I agree he got great numbers and I hope mine will get that as well.

I made the same trip last year, except to destin instead of navarre and i got 18.1,but i ran alot harder.The mpg's are the worst for the first 15 minutes while warming up and anything over 70 mph.Btw guys those numbers are real world i started the trip counter as i pulled out of the condo,and took the pic when i pulled in my driveway.The truck will get decent numbers if you keep your foot out of it.Honeslty i don't think it's getting any better than when new i have just learned how to drive it.
