I got home today and when I turned the thing off it said I'd gotten 105.6mpg! Stupidly, I didn't get the phone out to take a pix before the screen went blank.

49.1 is pretty nice for a 22 mile drive.

Daaaaaamn. I wanna see that.

It was kinna; neat, but in all honesty it was for a total of 1.4 miles w/ 1.2 miles electric. Would love to see that on a normal drive. One day in the Escape I made a similar drive and it showed 999.9mpg. Nice but I really wasn't going to take it too seriously.

this is good. i think the more important issue here is that you get more than half your miles in Electric mode in your daily commute.

to keep track, i have not reset my Trip 1 (or Trip2) and i get more than half of mileage in electric mode....that means my engine has half as many miles on it as the odometer reads.

First week I had my EcoBoost 2.0 XL I measured (old school: actual gallons/miles) and got 26.6mpg.
After that I watched the infotainment screen etc. and saw 26 around town and 34.1 highway.
Then I turned it off and just do calm screen etc. and when I check it always says 34.1mpg.
I can’t wait to get some decent gas (OUT of California, on a highway trip). Then I’ll check for real.

Yeah I really don't know what's good for the Eco....I moved out of a tesla so I knew I had to do hybrid or I'd lose my mind over gas costs.

For entertainment, I’ve been known to to reset mpg going down a long hill on the highway. The computer stays confused for a few miles after doing that: outstanding mileage (for a little while).

Damn, that's 600 mile a tank territory! Here's my best "trip" mileage. We all have the fluke short trip high mpg's (I've hit the 80's for a ~2 mile trip) but this was mostly freeway driving and close to 50 miles.

We’ve all gotten occasional crazy high mpg readouts. But your mpg will take a nose-dive when you:

1) drive in the cold
2) drive in the wind
3) have short trips less than 5 minutes
4) take freeways with speeds 75+
5) use the heater
6) idle for extended period
7) tow a trailer
8) have a fully loaded bed with multiple passengers in cab

I stopped taking too much notice of individual trips and now I just follow average mpg calculations at the pump. Mine are consistently at 34-38 mpg (calculated) which is exactly the test results found by MotorTrend.

True True. This is 55-65 mph on a major rowdway for ar least 16-18 miles and lots of stop and go in between. My last 2 miles are through a neighborhood and there's lots of little hills you can coast down.

Yeah...it definitely blows sitting waiting in school traffic lines to pick up kids. ..major suck then.

LOL probably because it is by 4-5mpg or more!

 

[Intelanalyst77]

No wai?

I routinely get 52-53 mpg on the way to my office the the weather is over 50 out. We had a cold spell here than it warmed up and the confuser said that I had 407 miles to empty, drove 22 miles to the office that went to 417, drove home still 417 drove back again then it had 418!

I love my baby truck!

Now that the temps are coming back up I expect to see 600 miles per tank as the norm for the warm months.
