That's imperial mpg isn't it?
I switched mine over once and I was pretty sure it was. Still, that would be 18.6 mpg us.

Keep it below 100 km/h and look what happens . This was driving around Calgary for the day running errands - in & out of traffic.

For my truck, ~ 80-90km/h is the gold (about 45 mph for the yanks ! ). As long as I stay between 65 km/hr & 100 km/h this truck just sips fuel compared to my last SUV.

Smile gas mileage

11 f150 screw 4x4 with 3.55, 5.0 engine, tonneau cover. Trip from Pa to Port Clinton Ohio, 3 passengers and fishing gear, 400 miles each way. On way out, running 70 -75 was 19.6, on the way back, running 68-78 was 19.2. I drive pretty conservatively and stay with the traffic, no abrupt passing or swift accelleration. I was a little heavier on tha way back as we had three coolers filled with fish and ice. Lots of mountains both ways. Not too bad considering all things.

Default Round trip test?

When I test my mileage, I always base it on a round trip. Changes in elevation on a one-way trip make a big difference, sometimes as much as 2mpg, even in Michigan.

Are others measuring by the round trip?

Recent mileage test with 80+ mile round trips. Average around 74 mph:

20.5 mpg highway E-10
16.5 mpg highway E-85

2011 Supercrew, 2wd, 3.73 rear w/trailer package. 5.0.
