(36 mpg!) Economy Car Fuel Efficiency on Ecoboost AWD

[Deleted member 5352]

I'm very impressed with the fuel economy in my Maverick EB AWD. I never thought it would be this efficient! I got up to 36 mpg! That is incredible feat for a pickup! This is something my previous Honda Civic couldn't achieve! The best I got on that one was 30 mpg max. My trip was mostly local highway driving. At the end of the trip it did go back down but still at a respectable 31 mpg. More the reason I'm glad I got the Maverick over the Santa Cruz other than price and controversial looks. Not too far off from the combined Hybrid fuel economy.

Thank You! After reading that post and a ton of other stuff, I going to change one of my Maverick orders to Eco Boost AWD. I have both Hybrids ordered and I figure if I want to Drive a Mav this year, I need to go Eco.

I got 480 miles out of my last tank which showed 31 mpg but the actual calculated mileage came in at 30 mpg with a 16 gallon fill up. Might have been able to stretch it out to 500 miles but didn’t want to risk running out of gas!!

Later on that same day, I went to fill up and got the most range out of one tank, 460 miles! I've never had a vehicle that efficient before. I'm genuinely impressed with how well it's doing despite having the Ecoboost with AWD.

I am consistently getting 33-34 on my highway driving in my FX4 EB. As far as overall city/hwy, I am consistently averaging 27-28. It is beating the mpg on the RAM Eco Diesel I sold when I found this. Honestly, I have not noticed much difference in ride either. The FX4 EB is a winner in my book all the way around from economy to performance to comfort to looks.

I am too! Overall I am getting around 26 mpg with a mixture of city and highway driving.

Other than carrying the extra weight of the AWD system - 90% of the time your vehicle is in FWD only.

Same here. As it sits currently, the average is 26 and change. Other days I can get it as high as 30 mpg.

This just makes me more excited to get my EB if it ever gets built. I used to get 420 miles per tank on my full size. As it's gotten older I'm lucky to get 300 miles. That's with a 22 gallon fill up. I'm looking forward to at least being in the 400 club again.

Curious as to how the AWD, FX4 with the 4K towing package compares with these numbers. Pretty damn good numbers overall

That was what stood out most, how exactly were you getting only 30mpg max in a civic?

That is pretty incredible efficiency for a pickup, but realize that many of us are beating EPA estimates in our hybrids at a similar clip. We're at 49.9mpg after the first 5k miles in mixed driving.

I get a little above 25mpg on the highway. Around town i'm at 22mpg, i like the boost haha.

26 on the dash 24.3 doing the math.

That sounds about right. I have been checking the numbers for each fill up since I bought this Truck in August of 22. The actual mileage seems to be at least 1 to 2 mpg less than displayed.

I usually get about 32 mpg on the highway. I have gotten as high as 39 mpg at 70 mph (with a tailwind and judicious driving).
