I wanted to clarify that I specifically tried to get the best mileage possible using the method of backing off the gas slightly when possible without slowing.
That increases manifold vacuum which increases mileage .
Most of the time I was going 60 without trying specifically to maintain 60 going down Hills it would get up to 68 and when going up hills it managed to get down to 50 I think three times. it basically fluctuated mostly at 60, but between 56 to 66 .

Just for full disclosure... I learned to do that back in the 1960s when we had a vacuum gauge and there was no electronics in the cars.....

I'm assuming you have an EcoBoost FWD. The EPA numbers for that configuration shows a combined mileage of 26 MPG -- pretty close to what you are reporting. So it seems like you're giving us a real-world confirmation of those numbers.
