2.7 mpg/performance

I have 1070 miles on my 15' 3.5EB. Filled up today and got 16.8MPG according to Fuelly. Lifetime at 15.5. The data is limited, and the lifetime numbers are skewed by going mudding. The most recent tank was a little off from being at the service shop where they had it running/idling for a while and were driving it from building to building doing the Line-X and differential/underbody painting, then over to collision where they fixed the door alignment.
I reset the trip once I got it back and was averaging 18.5 until today when I topped it off. I think it will continue to go up as I get used to driving it and it continues to break-in. I love the 17-23 rating but I will be content with 18-19 overall.

What's the city rating for the 2.7 again? Just trying to see if my 2 mpg's over the city rating theory is consistent. I always found the f150 to be about .5 mpg's optimistic, so I'd bet you're getting 21 mpg if you hand calculate it (not that 21 mpg is bad by any means).

I don't own a 2015 (or an f150 anymore), but I've driven a lot of different trucks recently. I've been trading often, which is unusual for me. I've noticed I generally get about 2 mpg better than the EPA city rating while doing 75 percent or so highway driving in my daily commute. I drive 70-75 on the highway (the speed limit on my commute is 70). I'd imagine you should average close to 19 mpg in yours, since the city rating is 17. I don't really think it'll be much better than that, unless you drive ultra conservative and at low speed on the highway just to try and get better mileage. But that's no fun.
I have thought about taking a day where I fill up and burn half a tank driving around town just for fun so I could post the results on here. I don't know if I could stand it though haha.

I'm a fairly conservative driver. I do the speed limit at least or 5 over. I don't come to screeching haults, if I can avoid it. That's good for your breaks to not just mpg. I'll punch it here and there. A good portion of my driving is in a 55 zone so typically I'm at 55 sometimes 60. I still get a good amount of driving at 70. Its rated 19 in the city. I haven't done any 100% city driving, or highway really.

It's rated 19 city and you're getting 21 mixed, so my 2 mpg's over the city mileage is pretty close. I'd probably get similar mileage, going off past experience with my "city plus 2 mpg" experience on past trucks. Pretty good for a truck. Not earth shattering, but not too shabby.

Daytoman, good numbers with the mopar but send us a pic of a Crew Cab 4x4 or quadcab(instead of your regular cab RT) mpg numbers and then we will compare. We all can get 31mpg going down hill at 54 mph on the instant read out.

I once got 56 mpg over 7 miles. Course it involved a 6000 ft elevation change and mostly braking!

I forgot to post this from a few days ago. This was a few days of driving to and from work in decent weather, finally. My normal rout at 55 with some rolling hills and steady slopes, and going through one small town. I was looking at about 35 and 37 degrees every morning and no wind. It was showing this both days I went to work.
