I'm happy with my average considering I run 34.5" mud terrains.

That's pretty much what I get. I'm 55/45 City/Hwy and I am not shy about flooring the SOB. My other car is a modded GT500 so I'm used to going fast!



Some days the highway is good to you:



Stock FX4 SCREW. No bed cover, tune, nada.

I've got 5500km on my truck, always drive around with 1000#'s in box, and 1/3 of the time pulling trailer with bricks (5000#). Average L/100km is 16.4. I'm alright with that considering the trailer weights

Lifetime average on the truck. I haven't reset trip B since i got the truck.
My best guess is 40/60 Highway. Highway trips are usually an hour at the shortest. Ocasionally tow my trailer with an atv and dirtbike. Quite a few trips with just the dirt bike or atv in the box.

long trips without hauling anything I'll average ~21.5mpg if I'm not fighting a bad head wind.

70mph I drop about 2mpg. The sweet spot seems to be 55-60mph with the 3.55 gears.
In Texas you'll get your *** run over going that slow though.

One of my girlfriends get 28+ mpg at 70 mph with these new aerodynamic products. She has a 2011 Ecoboost and she doesn't have to slow down to get better gas mileage!

12.7 MPG with 1052 miles on it!! What gives??? Love my '13 ECOBOOST, drive it back from Virginia about 300 miles ot NJ and average 15.5, then around town (flooring it daily so I could hear my turbo charger kick in) it dropped to around 13.9. Then last week it started trickling down and now I've been at 12.7 for the past 3 days! That sucks! I've started to be nicer to it, but come on even with being rough shouldn't I be getting better then 12.7?? Thoughts? Thanks, new here!!
