12.7 - 13.1 mpg is what reads on my dash. '12 SCREW 5.0 3.55 nothing but K&N CAI (and some HP stickers) This is NOTHING but back roads, like driving through the suburbs of Maryland. Will be installing an MPT 91 performance tune soon.

keep in mind that city driving in Chicago is different than city driving in, I dont know, some "city" small town in the boonies with 4 stop signs and 1 light.

For real, big city driving with traffic jams, lights every block and all, that sounds about right. I'm at 18 L /100km (13 mpg) now with the EB / 3.73s and winter gas. Just for chits and giggles I changed my display to km / L (our metric mpg of sort) this morning. 5.xx km (3 miles) per L, in other words, every 3 miles driven cost me $1 in gas. Mother of God, my 10 minutes, 1-way commute costs more than a cup of joe...

I just switched from a 2011 EcoBoost getting about 17 mpg to a 2014 v8 and am currently getting about 16. (less than a week with the new truck so that may change)


Both vehicles were 4x4, and my drive is about 50/50 suburbs/highway driving for a total of 68 miles a day.

13-14 city with conservative driving, 3.55 2wd. At least going from stock 18's to stock 20s didn't change that

I'm so sorry. No seriously, DC traffic sucks ***. People all over the country THINK they understand traffic. But they don't know traffic until they discover Baltimore/DC/Virginia area!

Ive definitely had my foot into it more since getting the 5 star tunes which probably explains the mpg loss. Ah well, it's a truck...just wanted to make sure something wasn't crazy wrong with mine
