🚨My Hybrid Maverick window sticker with MPG!! 37 combined / 42 city / 33 highway

[wyouger]

Last time I checked 33 wasn't 40. I thought they said it was going to be average MPG 40?

No?

I thought they were advertising 40 in the city......

You are correct, I was wrong.

How's it fake, here's the link to the exact VIN of the OP

I agree. How is this fake? Prove that it's fake rather than REAL. Some people just have to be angry and controversial no matter how good the news is. Vry happy the fuel numbers are out and they appear about what was expected, if not even a little better. Hope mine gets built soon!

I believe the window sticker is real. However, I also believe some intern just made one hell of a mistake.
By now we all know the numbers are real. But, there is still no OKTB.

Fake - you can't get higher MPG in the City than you get on the Highway. I bet it should be 33 City, 42 Highway and 37 Combined.

No, not fake. Do a little research on hybrids.

kidding right?

it’s not uncommon for a hybrid to get higher mpg in town than on the highway… regenerative braking, etc.

Thanks. Appreciate the response. There have been maybe 10 folks that have responded with the same response that you have.

Not a jack rabbit starter at red lights or stop signs. Totally understand the aerodynamic difference between truck and sedan. I just know what I see while driving the car and watching the animation on the screen with the engine feeding the wheels, the battery feeding the wheels or both. I can see my MPG per tank and I track my MPG's in Fuelly which is posted win my signature block below.

My window sticker (posted 3-4 times in this thread ) reflects 43 City 44 Highway. My current average is 44.6 with roughly 6,200 miles. That's all I know. But thanks for responding and providing the argument and information as to why I should get better MPG in the city.

No problem, I'm also more than happy to point out the anecdotal nature of your evidence. I also hand calculated mpg with my niro and watched the screen, and saw great mpg city and comparably terrible mpg on the highway. It's an explanation for WHY the hybrid would be that much lower on the highway, if you can't accept that and you continue to harp on it, that's not my problem. Sounds like a good Lexus hybrid, most are.

Is this for real??? If so it would be a pretty big deal for hybrids.

Prius gets 58-60 mpg…..my Kia Niro averages 52 mpg’s consistently. I will be taking a hit in MPG’s with Maverick bit it’s worth it.

My Niro window sticker showed average of 50 hwy/49 city & 49 combined.

I would bet that as opposed to many hybrids*, the Maverick’s rather slab-like front causes the highway mpg to be much lower than some hybrids designed for super high efficiency. The city mpg would be less effected by aerodynamics.

*Aero has a big influence on designs like the Prius. Even Camry, Corolla etc have a slippery cross section compared to the Mav.

Ordered in August. Originally scheduled for Sep. 20 (this was after an XLT order never got scheduled; still waiting on that). Window sticker with MPG posted today...

That's great news! How long was it between when you got scheduled 'til you could see your sticker?

Fake - you can't get higher MPG in the City than you get on the Highway. I bet it should be 33 City, 42 Highway and 37 Combined.

Dude, you can’t really be that ignorant about hybrids
Hybrids always get more in city due to battery storage and regenerative braking.

 

[Shecster]

I linked the FORD site with the OP's VIN to show the actual window sticker that is generated by Ford. I did this in several replies actually.

Thanks for the update. Exciting news to have it go above and beyond the initial numbers we all have been working with.
