Fuel Mileage, Just WOW!!!

[MavMeister25]

I’ve learned to take online claims of mpg with a grain of salt. Not that I don’t believe people. It’s just that there are so many variables affecting mpg and posters often leave out more than half the necessary info such as ambient temp, % highway vs city mileage, driving style, model of truck (hybrid FWD vs AWD vs ecoboost), and whether they calculated mpg exactly at fill-up or they just looked at estimate on screen.

I myself have seen mpg on single trips ranging from 10 mpg to 99 mpg. Not kidding. This is why I take claims with a grain of salt. My average over 3 tanks of gas matches almost exactly the estimate given by Ford of combined 38 mpg. I’m happy with that.

It's old advice, but it's still pretty good: Don't feed the trolls.

My plan is to do the same with the Mav as I did with my Prius V. In the Prius, Trip A was my lifetime mileage. I never reset it, except when the battery was disconnected, which was very rarely. Therefore, Trip A indicated mpg over tens of thousands of miles. Trip B was for each tankful. For the Mav, I plan to do the same and have Trip 1 for "lifetime", and Trip 2 for each tankful. That way, I capture whole gamut of highway, city, summer, winter, and everything in-between.

I do a similar play on this. Trip 1 is every tank and Trip 2 is every oil change.

This is EXACTLY what I do too. The reason why it’s best to have Trip 1 for lifetime without reset is that your MyView screen for Fuel Efficiency pulls the data from Trip 1.

Well that's good to know! I've always wondered where they pulled that.

I’ll be honest, so far and from what I am reading on here and FB, 37 to 38 average mpg seems to be spot on for the 25 hybrid AWD. Give or take a little depending on where you live and the type of driving.

Passing 700 miles on my 2024 Eco AWD. It’s breaking in some.
If I pussy foot it grandma style
and coast efficiently like you ‘Mavbrid’ drivers do I can just barely hold on to 29 mpg. Did that over two half tank fill ups.
If I drive it with no concern for economy but don’t have to be first at the lights, just normal driving I’m holding a solid 26 mpg over two half tank fill ups.

Playing in Sport mode just a little and enjoying being first off the lights and first to five over the speed limit, I’m doing that now,
So far after one half tank burned I’m starting to get a steady 23.5 mpg’s. I’m very happy.

And going up a long 6% grade at 70 then a little press on the pedal scoots me right up to 80 effortlessly.
I am not a sea level flat land driver, I’m in the southern Appalachian mountains.
So I think I’m doing pretty good and am confident I’ll get another single digit mpg rise after I switch to Full Synthetic oil and I get a few thousand miles on the clock.

Yeah, I like this little Turbo engine.
As it breaks in it feels like it spins up a bunch faster.
:’P

Another data point for the thread:

Just rolled 1000 miles today (AWD hybrid). My tanks tend to average around 34-36 mpg. Most of my driving lately is highway, and it's winter in Wisconsin so only a day or two above 40 degrees. On one of those "warm" days, one of my short local trip summaries read 49.5 mpg. I expect the average to increase as the weather warms up.

not relevant to anything

i drove 1400 miles from Granger 99% highway, most time over 70 mph , cold to warm ( 35 to 60 temp) and my MPG was 26.5 . Pumped only 81 or 82 octane gas..drove 2025 XL , 4WD , hybrid
So your 40 mpg is skewed and not consistent with reality

ya i could get 50 mpg in one spot where HW was rerouted , school zone , everyone doing 15 mph ..but cmon

You must drive really aggressive or over 80, only tank i got down below 30 in winter hauling a tall upright freezer on the highway in 25 degree weather couple weeks ago. I have 32k miles and drive 70 percent highway and summer months its 36-40 with cruise control five over usually 70

just a quick update, 2025 hybrid awd, I'm not even going to get 360 miles from my first tank. The cold snap here in Mass definately is a factor.

The sales staff should tell first time hybrid owners that real cold weather and hybrids don’t play well together and that there is an operator learning curve.
But they’d get fired if they did that.
If I was Ford I’d have some kind of pod cast or YouTube on the subject.

Stick it up your nose. This is my last post on this place. What a jerk.

Agreed, that derogatory post was uncalled for. Don't leave because of one jerk.

 

[palmtreefrb]

if a grown man feels the need to comfort another grown man because the later got his feeling hurt when was told his MPG estimate is wrong , then I'm leaving as well.
I found more common sense and more mentally stable individuals on drphil.com than here.

Seeya!!!!

Driving over 70mph, the hybrid is not going to get you great mileage. Drive under 60, and see the difference.
