Ever wonder what a 6.2 will get you in the city? One entire tank of driving on the streets of Houston proves something some Eco owners still dream about.

You said, "one entire tank." Umm, your DTE is 294 miles, and your gas gauge is not at E.

Just sayin.

With a simple picture like that, I can make mine read 29.9mpg.

Show a pic of your Trip with mpg from the entire tank.

I'm not here to fight either, but I know my poking the bear with a stick will cause some. Haha

One entire tank means I got back in town and drove until I needed to fill up and then drove past the point where I started when I took this pic. So you may be right. This may actually be more than one tank. But I'm more than sure, I would not have been able to get through one entire tank if I started at the gas station and didn't fill up again without being stranded on the side of the road. I did think this through a little.

And I'm sure I could make mine say the same thing, but I don't like wasting gas or more importantly, time. I'm home one out of every three weeks and don't have time to do something silly like drive 2mph just to make other people who think their engine is far superior to everyone else's cringe. I do that the old fashioned way.

You have it set on instant economy. All I'm saying is your picture carries no weight. Any engine can make that picture look like 29.9 or even 30 MPG.

Im getting a solid 19 in my ecoboost after 14,000 miles. I can't complain now. Maybe when winter comes I'll complain but summer fuel and warm weather she's sips fuel.
