I am taking a 200+ mile roadtrip tomorrow to do Christmas shopping ****, I will report back on my overall mileage. I have some mountains to go up and down so I will try tow mode one way adn see what it does.
I am in AZ where it is fairly warm most of the time so I am not running a catch can right now, but I am considering adding one as a just in case. I have the oil changed pretty often and use Motorcraft synthetic belend. A couple years ago when I lived in Iowa I had the gas smell in the oil issue. They performed the TBS for that and it did help some, but I keep track of it now and it is better in the milder temps here in AZ.
i live in Phoenix and have to empty my catch can about every 3-4 weeks or about every 750 miles

Tow mode extends shift points, and adds in better engine breaking. If you aren't towing, it will lower your MPG.
Nothing to see here.....It is the short trips that are killing my MPG's.
This is a blurry pic my wife took today while I was driving from Cottonwood to Mesa, AZ. I had the cruse set on 70 and ethanol free 89 octane gas in the tank. The trip meter at this pic said 20.9
Im in the busy streets of LA and driving around town average me 12.5-13.5 mpg. But if i'm cruising on the highway between 65-70 mph with the adaptive cruise on I get 20+ mpg. I guess its the cost of driving a big truck with two turbos.
