So, just had my second gas fill up. And I am amazed with gas savings. 46.76 miles on a gallon. Used slippery/eco modes to drive on 90% highway. 1000km on a tank. That's a shocker to me.

As for me, I'm hitting 42-43 in mixed driving. Peaked at 53 in what was probably ideal driving.
Range estimate @ pickup with <15miles on odometer was 350. I had put 150 miles on the thing before the range estimate stopped going up (~405miles range) and started ticking back down.

Speed is 60-70milles. Slippery/eco mode.
A lot of people reporting good things about slippery or eco modes. Anyone know exactly why it makes a difference?

If I drive gently and intentionally, I can regularly get 50mpg in mixed driving (mostly between 35-55mph). I LOVE this truck!!
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. Even so, I'm thrilled to be getting 43-50MPG (even if it is really 41-48MPG). That's more than twice as good as my previous Frontier & Rangers got (about 18MPG).

I would be happy with 1-2 mpg less than the dash display shows! At 40 mpg that is actually fairly close percentage wise.
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?

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.

That's why I used phone application to calculate average based on full tank divided by miles driven
What type of gas are you running? I assume you are not using an ethanol blend.So, just had my second gas fill up. And I am amazed with gas savings. 46.76 miles on a gallon. Used slippery/eco modes to drive on 90% highway. 1000km on a tank. That's a shocker to me.

Yes, I've noticed that too. It's so consistent that I don't bother calculating manually anymore. I just deduct the 1-2 and call it a day.
I use normal mode, and don't really make any attempt at all to economize, and still get over forty every tank...often well over. I'm simply blown away by this truck's amazing efficiency.
