My Buddy has a 2015 F150 SC 2wd 331 rear end. 2.7 EB.
He has 5000 miles on his truck and he runs 70mph and he gets 25 mpg all the time on the interstate.

 

Just took about a 1300 mile road trip to Daytona this past week. I have owned my 13 FX4 3.5, Screw with a 6.5 bed for only about a month so this was the first time i had a chance at Hwy. miles. I averaged about 19.7 mpg for the whole trip ,and on the interstate I was running from 70 to 85 mph a majority of the time, Is this mileage in line with most everyone else.Just curious

 

the cold weather really takes a bite out of mileage. warming spring time temps should bring an improvement.


edit. reply was meant for post above yours. oops.

 

Sorry guys, but it's been in the 70's here in texas.
Dont think we are on a winter blend.

Put about 1800 KMs on it so far and im averaging about 13.7L/100 (17MPG) on the highway cruise controlled at 110KMH (65MPH).

I pray to god its the engine not being broken in and the -15ish celcius temperatures that are giving me this milage. Was hoping to get it around 12. A few days I was skipping around in 4x4 but only for about 100KM or so during a snowstorm.

I have babied the throttle as well.

Don't know much about the 2.7, but my 3.5 works hard in 4x4 at 60mph, definitely a noticeable load on the engine and drivetrain.


I have done the exact same thing as you've stated above. That scenario will definitely effect mpg. But I run at 100k/60 mph. just dropping from 110/65 will result in a noticeable gain for me. and yes once the temp raises to plus 3 or 4c it will help a bit too.


Did the same as you decscribed , a little 4x4, -12c at 65 avg for 321 kilometers and it was a little over 2mpg loss than my regular drive on the exact same 321 kilometer route, slower, warmer and no 4x4


I had my trip 'B' with 5987 miles and mpg was 15.7 avg So yours with 1123 miles and 17 mpg is not that bad.


o yeah a head wind is very noticeable on mpg on these trucks


just my thoughts

 

You didn't specify what gear ratio you're running, but overall, your numbers aren't unreasonable. That said, dropping the speed to just under 70 (about 66-67 is what I run), your numbers should go up. Assuming relatively level terrain on the trip, numbers in the low 20-21 range can be expected. Of course, any use of the turbo will have a noticeable effect on mileage. I've got a 2011, 5.0 with 3.71 gears; otherwise the same vehicle as yours. If you're running 3.31 gears, if you aren't running much in the truck, you should get about 1MPG higher than your current numbers. I can hit 22-23 if I keep it below 70 However, my tires are 5psi over spec (40 instead of 35) and I'm using Royal Purple for the tranny and diffs. Engine is just regular Ford semi-synthetic from the Works package, but changed every 5,000 miles. I just put new shoes on mine, the new Michelin Defender LTX M/S. We'll see what effect they have on mileage as well. Hope this was of use.

350 mile round trip today, averaged 11.3mpg. Pretty happy with that!!!

 

what is this prius.com? Who cares about MPG

 

Because I want to know

 

Must be nice to be wealthy and have no worries. Most of us are middle class guys with bills and kids and we have to buy groceries after payday so every mile per gallon counts. For the average U.S. driver, 1 MPG equals about $15 per month. Doesn't matter if you drive a Prius or a Hummer H2, everybody is wise to try and save money at the pump so you can use it for other things.
