800+ miles per tank club!!!

Tire pressure is fine at least based on what the truck says. I do use A/C, but being in Florida, I use it constantly anyways and hasn't really changed.

Might want to check your air filter? A dirty air filter can reduce mpg’s by quite a bit.

I would think in a hybrid more so than a regular ICE vehicle as the efficiency is more dependant on the engine.

Interesting statement.
It's probably about the same.

But I'd lean the other way, personally.

It's about volume of air ( per unit of time ).

I'd think a car with gears would have periods of higher RPM right before upshifts where it could be starved for air.

Say a "5 speed" goes

1st 1000-3500 rpm, upshift
2nd 1000- 3500 u-s
3rd 1000- 3500 u-s
4th 1000- 3500 u-s
5th

The hybrids, with eCVT for the most part, go

1250 - 2500 and stay there.

With exceptions of course.

Your usual 3-clicks at the pump is damaging your truck. You should be stopping at the first click on any modern vehicle, including the Mav. Otherwise you're overfilling the tank into the filler neck, degrading the rubber filler neck-to-tank seal and leaving dried fuel deposits in the vent line and valve. That's going to get expensive, as owner-caused damage is not covered under warranty. Sooner or later you'll start noticing a fuel leak at the tank seal, a fault code for a new evap canister and an inability to fill at a normal rate.

Maybe that was true eons ago.
And "here we go again".


Three fill-ups ago I put ~17 gallons in my hybrid to FIRST CLICK.

It was a slow pump at a busy station.

A) I'm not worried about damge
B) in the 1:million chance, who's responsible? This owner stopped at first click

Opinion: If Ford can't build a vehicle to handle real world conditions, then they built a flawed design. Repairs are their duty.
