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

[Jbuys]

Ford's Full-size Spare isn't Full size dpare. It's just bigger than a donut

It just means that its the same diameter of tire, not the small little donuts. They can be driven on longer and at highways speeds, most donuts have a speed limit rating of like 45-50 mph.

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

No?

Ford said in all of its adds and such that they were aiming for 40 mpg City. Now its 42 City, 33 Highway and 37 Combined. That's better than they were aiming for. I think those numbers will be higher as there has been reports from a Ford Rep that got 50 mpg in downtown Nashville, TN.

Is tomorrow going to be a big day for us hybrid folks?

Well, today was my big day! Meaning they moved my production date back another week!

But I am sneaking up on them, November 01 is not that far away ...

That's great news! I love that going from a 2017 VW jetta to the maverick is going to IMPROVE my MPG for my daily drive. It is 20 miles each way, with a mix of highway (60mph tops) and a lot of stop lights. I get 34 in the VW on that drive (~40 on the highway at times) but I should be looking at improving on that number with the hybrid maverick (and still be able to handle sheets of plywood for my workshop).
I cannot wait!

I can't wait to stop driving my '98 F-150 80 miles round trip to work everyday. I'm getting about 17 mpg on my highway drive!

Hope this helps! It doesn’t touch the back seat but gets close. Don’t mind my dog seat cover

Thank you very much! Yes, that's extremely helpful.

Sam, I can't believe this.

I have had my drivers console with the picture of the wheels-battery-engine. I have watched during take offs and driving in the city with all the stop and go the engine is always driving the wheels. A lot of the time it's both engine and battery driving the wheels. The ONLY time it's only the battery feeding the wheels is down hill or speeds below 40 when the EV light MAY come on.

I'm no genius, I just know what I'm seeing.

Well, first off you're comparing apples to oranges in the style of the car.

Second, I consistently got over 45 in the city and really closer to 50 mpg in my kia niro. I don't understand how you don't get better in the city. The gas engine is hardly ever running on my hybrid in the city - which is WHY you get better mpg. I don't even use the gas engine maybe 20% of the time....

Either your hybrid is broken, or you must be flooring it off the line and using the gas engine much more often than you say. I never have a problem getting my best mpg in the city compared to 65-80 mph on the highway, without even trying.

Finally, This sticker could be fake for other reasons, but this would not be one of them.

Why is the gas mileage for low for highway? Through all the videos on you tube and the forums it was shown 40 mpg in city and at least 500 mi on a tank of gas when driven on the highway.

So on highway it will be getting about the same as the 2.0 LOL

I’m coming into this way late and don’t feel like reading thru 14 pages of mostly off topic comments. Is this legit or no? It’s a blue sticker not green!?!

So on highway it will be getting about the same as the 2.0 LOL

And nearly twice the city mpg LOL

Gas hitting $4/gallon, that's a bag of money.

My thought exactly. If that's the case, why bother with the hybrid ? I've got to drive 20 some miles just to get groceries and gas.

someone said earlier that it might take a bit for fueleconomy.gov to update. But hopefully this means that it will happen soon and we will have the oktb

Read on another thread that the EPA updates typically on Thursdays and Fridays. Take that for what it's worth...

Who lives in the city ?

Interestingly, Rivian's R1 100% EV truck has the same $950 annual fuel cost
(according to fueleconomy.gov)

Why bother with the hybrid? There’s a reason why California contains a huge percentage of hybrid orders.
