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

[SgtLip]

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.

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.

Who lives in the city ?

>80% of the US population.

I wonder how many additional MPGs the tonneau cover provides. I imagine the reduction in drag adds efficiency...

Not necessarily, I remember a few years ago when the myth busters proved that mileage in a truck was better with the tailgate up versus down. Something that was a shocker as so many "net gates" were sold claiming better mileage.

Is that the only test that’s been done? I took this as gospel but I didn’t know that was the only source. Seems like there is enough variation in trucks that it could differ between makes and models. Also, how MUCH was the difference? I guess I should go find the viddy and see for myself.

edit: some sauce


My conclusion from what i watched: test was mostly bullshido, very unscientific, very limited, very made for entertainment. Basically, minimal difference on their older single cab test truck between tailgate up, down, cover, and mesh. Insignificant differences. I.e do whatever you want with a tailgate or cover, it won’t make any meaningful difference in mpg compared to your other driving habits.

Not with the way allotments work. If you did not order from the same dealership than his order has 0 effect on yours.

I agree, but it will affect other reservation holders at THAT dealer.

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

100% hwy is still 14% greater efficiency for the hybrid, and no matter how much you think you drive hwys that's pretty much impossible. I'd say 80-90% hwy is tops for the vast majority of drivers, which is 20-26% greater efficiency for the hybrid. significant across the board.

These city mpg figures are great! Congrats hybrid-ers!

With the the EcoBoost Engine you will spend $2000 more in Fuel Costs over 5 years along with spending $1085 for the EcoBoost Engine option over the base Hybrid Engine. So costing $3085 more over 5 years, $5,085 more over 10 years.

Those numbers also assume gas at $2.35 per gallon. Current prices are from $3 (27.7% higher) to $4.50 (91.5% higher). Current average is $3.357 or 42.8% higher

If the current average holds then over 10 years you will be paying $6,800 more owning an EcoBoost FWD Maverick vs the Hybrid Maverick.

Are you still LOLing.

Nobody drives in the city, there's too much traffic.

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.

Because highway driving isn't city driving?

I have the same problem with my dealer in Fl. Told me I wouldn't see a hybrid for 2 years and is wondering why I keep bugging him to change my priority code down to 10 or why I keep asking about financing or promotions when I have 2 years to wait... maybe it's a Florida dealer thing..

If he thinks it is two years why is the dealer not giving you the 10?

Are you replacing the ES300h with a Maverick or adding it/replacing another vehicle? The Maverick won't be as efficient as the ES - as you noted, aerodynamics - but it's an awesome product nonetheless.

Congrats might be in order if we ever get our hands on the damn thing.

Lol. Well, I am envious of that city mileage. I just needed a bit more capable truck as I have a boat that I bring out every chance I get. I've averaged north of 30 on the interstate though and that's with 245 tires.

A SEMA study in 2007 found 1.8% increase in fuel efficiency...but your mileage may vary.

Always wondered how much if any the tonneau helped, so thanks for this data!
