I should probably be comparing my mileage to how I’m driving with city/highway numbers. So 30 MPG over that last tank compared to 39.75 mpg epa estimates (42 mpg x 75% city + 33 mpg x 25% highway). What this means is my short drives in cold weather must be really low, like 10-20 mpg, to drive...
Just filled up and my mpg average was 30 mpg for this tank so even lower. I have noticed that the mpg is significantly better if I turn the heat off so that must be the contributing factor, but 30 mpg actual vs 42 mpg published is a big difference!
Thanks, good info. I’m going to try turning off the heat off on the short trips. Not like it’s going to warm up that much on 2-3 mile round trip anyway.
Yes. I live less than 4 miles from work and a lot of 1.5 mile trips dropping the kids off at school. MPG seems to have gotten worse as the temps have dropped. So this is normal. Nothing wrong with the truck. Thanks
I’m only averaging 33 mpg on my hybrid with mostly city miles. I’m not driving heavy and score 100% with the brake coach most of the time. Anyone else experience this or have any idea on what might be happening? I kind of wish I got the ecoboost engine if this is the norm.
