Default My real world MPG.....so far

I know there are numerous post about gas mileage, but I would like to post my experience so far.
I just got my truck a month ago. I got a 2020 SCREW 2.7 eco. I took a trip from Houma, LA. to Houston TX. Mostly interstate driving (I-10) at 75 mph average. I filled up in Houston after driving 326 miles. The computer showed 24.2 mpg. I hand calculated 23.5 mpg.
I just recently went through a tank driving to and from work, which is 13 miles one way from my house, and some stop and go city type driving, over two weeks. The computer showed 21.7 mpg. I hand calculated 20 mpg. I do not drive with a heavy foot. I am more than satisfied with these results and thought I might pass this along.

Congrat's! The 2.7's will yield fantastic FE when driven smartly. I typically average ~24mpg through the summer months. (when not towing, and mixed driving)

2018 SCREW XLT 3.5 Eco that if I stay 70 and under have gotten close to 24, 23.8 or so. My mpg meter has been calibrated and is pretty darn accurate. Over 70 mileage goes down quick. Towing mileage sucks, 9-12 mpg. Running in Eco and staying out of the boost will yield the best mileage, of course you are accelerating much slower than the truck is capable of but that's the price of saving money.

Psh. I'm getting 1 week per gallon right now in a 3.5 ecoboost on 35's.

I’ve seen very similar results in my 2019 2.7L.

Oh man too many variables. If you live in a hilly area, say goodbye to your mileage. I have a 19 2.7 4x4 screw and GRANNY driving it mixed city/hwy with hills I get 18mpg. If it was all flat could easily see 20+.

Once again, too many variables.
