Default Road trip day gas mileage

So for some reason we have to go to the 50th anniversary of Disney world. So off we went today.

So far 583 miles later. F150 managed 24 mpg. Hand calc. Well ok not hand but mobile computer app acar

Anyway. I was a bit surprised. I was expecting 20

Thought I replied already

2017. 2.7eco. 2 adults 2 kids too much luggage. Rolling 5 to 8 mph over limt most of the way

No not a problem. Not all posts have to be problems which is why I thought I'd note it

Yeah it's got to be wrong can't possibly make within 10% of epa rating.

With fresh air filter. New oil. Clean and waxed. And properly inflated tires

Anyway I expect less on the way back. Figure it's going uphill most of the time
