I'm in Southern AZ. 17000 miles in the odometer. Still have yet to have a problem. Constantly get 24-26 avg mpg's. I drive 60 on the highway with cruise control set. When i'm in town I drive the speed limit or a few mph's above it and again set the cruise control. Pretty much always have my green screen pegged out.

I have noticed that MPG's suffer more in the morning when the tranny isnt warmed to full operating temp. My tranny temp gauge slowly rises while I drive, and when it is about 1/4 up is when mpg's start getting better.

What do you get for MPG around 65-70 MPH?

Love that pic in your signature, BTW.

My 2012 Ecoboost 4x4 with just over 3000 miles is averaging 16.5 mpg according to the on board computer. Almost all city driving, short trips, very little freeway driving.

About 21-23 mpg. Its amazing how the drag starts adding up. The speed limit where I drive tops out at 65 on I10 with spots dropping to 45 and 55 because of construction. I just stay in the right lane. I leave early enough where I have a nice cruise to work.

Thanks. Thats one of the planes I fly on.

I'm approaching 1000 miles. My average is 18.5 mpg, pure commuting miles on backroads, some stop and go, driving it normally (eg. not drag racing it).

I've not yet taken an actual highway trip in it yet...too busy working.

18.5 is unbelievably great, I don't know how in gods name your doing it!

I have signed ny FMC contract and will be receiving my F250 next week. I have finally had it with this POS, 13.1 avg is just deplorable.

Is something wrong with my truck? With city driving, I'm getting like 11.5mpg and highway is like 16.5-17mpg. I have a 2013 ecoboost with 3.55 gears and 4X4.

Well unless you have a heavy foot or have put big tread under it, you likely have the same peculiar wide mileage discrepancy that many of us either have had from day one or developed over time, like mine. Got like 17 city, 22 H/W for 3 months a year ago, averaged over 19 and then it broke. Been 13/18 ever since with an average of only 15. Current tank is 14.9.

Sadly, if you complain to Ford, they are going to go drive it 58mph and expect it to hit 20mpg. Mine will do that and yours likely will too. Problem is, in no wind, it ought to hit 21mpg at 70mph. Ought to hit 25mpg at 58 but that's beside the point.

Ford's whole approach to problem solving is to deny there's a problem.
