Real world fuel mileage MPG results by 2.0 EcoBoost owners - check in here

Really, no exhaust manifold?? That's wild!

2.0, 2.3 and 2.7 all have the exhaust manifold cast into the aluminum head.
Very common these days.

My MPG still blows (Lariat, AWD, 4K Towing package). At least 60% highway (maybe 70-80%) at average 70 mph on the highway, and averaging 22-23.5 mpg for the last 7 fill ups going back to mid January.

Slowing down makes a huge difference IMO. Our average fuel economy took a nose dive in winter, but I've seen it pop back up to pretty impressive figures. Averaging over the last two fills, 60.65 liters used over 780 km = 7.77 liters/100 kms. Indicated was 7.5, so pretty close. That's 36.4 mpg Imperial, 30.3 mpg US... for combined city/highway.

ours is saying about 19.4 after 1.5 tanks. LOL!

I got 26.2 miles per gallon on my first tank of primarily local/city driving. My second tank was primarily highway at 65-75 mph and returned 28.2. These are real numbers based on doing the math. Total mileage on my truck is just shy of 1,000 miles. Mine is an Ecoboost with AWD and towing package. My only complaint worth mentioning is that after a rain, opening a rear door spills a bunch of water on the plastic door threshold. Whatever happened to drip rails?

27.9 MPG on a XL 2.0 EcoBoost FWD.

70% back roads , 30% city , No highways.

I towed for the first time yesterday, hauled our camper to a nearby campground 55 kms away. Average fuel consumption was 11.5 liters/100 kms indicated. Mind blown. Our camper has about 43 sq ft frontal area (max recommended is 40), and is light and aero. I was getting only 15 to 17 mpg towing with the Nissan Frontier 4.0 V6 I had before this, and the Maverick is getting 23 to 24 mpg (Imp)!

Edit - the tow home was into a 25 km/h headwind, indicated average went up to 12.3 liters/100 kms, or 23 mpg Imp.

I’ve been getting 27-28 mpg with my FWD 2.0L EB.

I have a Ecoboost AWD with the 4K tow package. I leave auto stop/start on and when I drive on the highway I run it in ECO mode.

Because I owned a hybrid before these are my driving habits:

*When I accelerate, I try to keep the RPM's under 2k - I am cognizant of those around me and don't do this when it might be dangerous.​

*I am also in the habit of coasting to slow down.​

​

I share all of this because my mileage in the Maverick is almost unbelievable. My lifetime average on 5,151 miles is 24.5 mpg, with a lot of below 0 temperatures (it was a very cold Spring in the UP of Michigan) and towing. On my last highway trip of 170 miles, driving at 70 with the AC on, I got a manually calculated mileage of 36.8 mpg.

Recently I changed my oil and went full synthetic. My mileage has been even better lately. On my last manually-calculated fill-up I got 39.8 mpg on the highway. This is just my two cents but the Maverick is extremely sensitive to the way we drive, mileage-wise.

Hypermiling. In one of the gearhead performance threads, I think I'd read that full boost is in by 2,000 RPM. It just makes sense that if you keep the rpm down, drive it easy, accelerate slower etc., particularly drive slower on the highway, fuel economy will improve. The wife and I both drive with fuel economy in mind, and the Maverick isn't far behind our Corolla in fuel economy.

I wouldn't even call it hypermiling. Like you said, FULL boost might hit at 2,000 RPM but there is actually a decent amount of torque between 1,500 and 2,000 RPM. I don't do any of the tricks like popping the transmission into neutral, speeding up and coasting down or airing up my tires to ridiculous pressures. My mileage is solely based on taking it easy on the throttle and avoiding being wasteful with the brakes.

As it turns out, when you coast in the Maverick with the engine running at 1,300 RPM or less (like when you see an obstruction up ahead on the highway), you will notice your mileage shoots up like a rocket on the display. Real-life mileage won't be far behind.

This engine is ridiculously miserly at low RPM's.

Today we put on 200 kms highway, loaded for car camping (no trailer in tow). Had a slight tailwind, steady state 100 kmh, cruise on as much as possible. Arrived with average indicated of 6.3 liter/100 kms, 43 mpg (Imp). Indicated is usually slightly optimistic, so around 40 mpg. Edit - got 6.4 on the way home, so averaged over 40 mpg Imp and 36+ mpg US.

You can cheat the numbers just roll down hill a long ways and rest the trip I got 75mpg lol was around 52mpg really I get 22mpg up and down hills to 33mpg on long highways that are flat can push it to 35mpg but that's hard to keep. 60kph is the best mpg speed I've found. Doing that on a flat stretch did the best so the 10.5 liters per 100km 22-23mpgish is normal driving around home and 33 5.7 liters per 100km is highway. Canopy dropped it by 0.5km per 100

Put a foot lightly on the brakes and it improves something in the transmission changes and it coasts better mpg improves too

2.0 first edition, 187 mile ride today. 50 percent 70mph interstate, 15 percent city and 35 percent two lane 45/55mph thru Pa. hills and mountains....29.7 avg mog

19 is my average just putting around Knoxville Tn.
very disappointed

XLT FX4, probably 70%+ highway (45 mph+ state or interstates), usually in Eco mode. Usually running 93 octane, but went down to 89 a few tanks ago with no negative results. Haven't towed yet, occasionally have a few hundred pounds in the bed (lawn equipment, generator, junk) or kayaks/canoe on a bed rack, but most of the time just running empty with a tonneau cover on a daily commute.

Overall average for the first 9000 miles has been 28.8 mpg
Best single tank was 33 mpg (road trip in warm weather and flat terrain, almost all highway), Worst was 23 (first tank, winter weather).

I've got a pretty light foot most of the time, so I'm sure that helps.
