I’m still driving around hoping things “fix themselves”. The dealers say they won’t look at it until it has 1000 miles. Right now it’s just over 500. if I hit the reset and drive on a highway run the mileage is stellar. As high as 30.5. Usually in the mid-to-high 20s. Once I get off the...

Just to say something well, I wish it was bul****. It’s as if you can watch the gauge going down. And yes, I know how to manually calculate gas mileage. I’m glad y’all are getting over 20mpg. I wish I was too. It only confirms there must be something amiss.

I haven’t calculated mpg manually…I shouldn’t have to…but based on the amount of gas I’ve purchased in the first two weeks the readings I get on the dash seem accurate, if not optimistic. Nevertheless, if the problem is with the gauge (which I doubt is the case) that deserves to be addressed as...

My average is reading 14.2 today, mixed highway and city. Ford Customer Service set up an appointment for me with the dealer I purchased it from, including a loaner, but just before I came in the service advisor called me and cancelled my appointment. He said he won’t even look at it until it...

Spent a lot of time on the phone with Ford Customer Service today. They contacted the dealer I bought it from and requested a loaner/rental while it’s in their shop getting diagnosed and sorted. The dealer told me they don’t have loaners or rentals available. So I wait. Ford is actually being...

I brought the Maverick into the dealer today, not the dealer I bought it from. It was reading 14.7 when I brought it in. They said I could leave it there but they wouldn’t even look at it for at least a week! They clearly did not want to deal with a car they didn’t sell. They told me several...

I do not have the 4K tow package.

The “best” mileage I got was in eco mode on a highway run, 17.5. Eco mode is not the most enjoyable drive. Kind of feels like the parking brake is stuck on with eco. i’m dismissing any sort of “user error”. I drive carefully and gently most times. In fact, if anything I’m very conscious to...

With my old cars I keep meticulous records of expenses, but I have a new truck so that I don’t have to. Hopefully the dealer will have a solution. Of course I feel like nowadays even a “cheap” vehicle should be delivered perfect to the customer. The dealer told me they might need it “a few...

I’ve reset the meter a few times to give it a “fresh start”, but still get a consistent 14-17. Usually hovers around 15.5. It’s as if you can watch the gas gauge needle going down! It goes in on Monday for a diagnostic check. I’m hoping there’s something wrong with it and easily fixable. I can’t...

I’ve had my XL 2.0 AWD for a week now. I’ve driven about 300 miles. Averages around 16 mpg. The best I’ve gotten was just over 17 on a highway run. Right now the average is reading at just over 14. Worse mileage than the V6 F150 it replaced! Combine that with a 13 gallon tank and it sure isn’t...
