All the short trips of 5-20 miles are good and we can all do that, but show me 350-400 mile trips with the 50's.Sure. Note time and distance.

There is an "Engineering Test" mode (ET mode) that you can access in your Maverick (just search "engineering test mode" here at MTC). My mileage estimates were "optimistic" by a good bit, so I went into ET mode and changed the appropriate setting to make it more accurate. It's still not perfect for short trip estimates (and likely never will be), but my "at the pump" mileage calculations are now pretty close to the "estimates" on the screen for the entire tank. On the negative side, it's now a LOT harder to get those fun "50+ mpg" trips in the Maverick, even though temps are warming up.<< snip >>
Anyone else notice that the Ford mpg calculator is off by 1 or 2 MPGs? When I do the math (distance / # gallons), I regularly get 1 to 2 mpg less than Ford says I'm getting.

Pretty sure that was "magic gas"...What type of gas are you running? I assume you are not using an ethanol blend.
Sure. It's quite easy in mild weather.All the short trips of 5-20 miles are good and we can all do that, but show me 350-400 mile trips with the 50's.
Yes.A lot of people reporting good things about slippery or eco modes. Anyone know exactly why it makes a difference?
Yes. We're sure.Sorry to be that guy, but I'm just finding it a little hard to believe you're beating the rated highway fuel economy by 15 mpg. Sure you're doing the calculations right?
Cheapest gas. Ethanol 10%.What type of gas are you running? I assume you are not using an ethanol blend.
On a drive that short, that makes me think you started with the HVB at a high(er) state of charge and ended the drive with the HVB at a low(er) state of charge.That's fantastic for highway, well done
My commute home from work is a country road, speed limit is 35 - 45. I finally broke 70mpg coming home last night with eco mode. Slippery mode is not quite as good for this particular drive.
Here's the thing:But, yes I can confirm that maverick MPG estimator is off by 1-2% as any other vehicle. Best way to calculate is total on gas tank.
Actually, I have seen my mpg gauge read a little over 1mpg low, twice.Here's the thing:
I think Ford (and others) programs the MPG gauge a little high on purpose. You never hear of anyone saying their gauge reads too low. Nope.
Ratings are done on a standard test so you can compare across vehicles. There's no reason to expect those test results to correlate to actual driving with hills, wind, extreme care on starts and regen braking usage. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fe_test_schedules.shtmlSorry to be that guy, but I'm just finding it a little hard to believe you're beating the rated highway fuel economy by 15 mpg.
