As many have noted, temps above 40F or so really improve MPG

Yes, March is a transition month with ups and downs. In the 40s yesterday with almost 70 today. Out and about my milage was in the 40s mpg today. The end of winter is fine.

It's been warm Here all week and My mileage is up to 25 mpg from 21-22 in the cold weather.

How many times have we been over this? The 250 HP and 277 lb.ft. torque ratings are on what octane fuel? Hint it's not on 87 octane and 93 octane is better for Turbo Engines and 91 octane is the non ethanol fuel and is more money!! Regular 91 is not offered Here in Northeast, Ohio only 87,89 or 93 octane!! July 2019 Car & Driver 2019 F-150 Limited 3.5 HO Eco Boost Min 87 Octane 360 RWHP and 463 lb.ft of Rear Wheel Torque 93 Octane 380 RWHP and 475 lb.ft of Rear Wheel Torwue!!

Ok. Call it 10hp more for 25% more cost and insufficient PEA to keep your valves and injectors working properly. But 10hp more in a truck that already has excellent power-to-weight ratio on 87 fuel. Uhuh.

During freezing or near freezing temperatures, isn't the AWD system engaged proactively in anticipation of slippery road conditions? Same when the windshield wipers are on? Constant or frequent AWD engagement may be a contributor to your poor cold weather MPG. Could a dealer tech or trainer chime in here, please?

So You think running 87 octane is as good for the Eco Boost Turbo engine as 93 octane is?Why did You buy a Lariat Hybrid when You could have bought an XLT Hybrid for a cheaper price?

I was actually waiting for a year for a lux-package XLT, and cancelled when I say a Lariat listed for the same money as the XLT. I never appreciated some of the Lariat features like a power rear window or the wireless phone charger until I had them. The pushbutton start is also handy, as is the upgraded centre-stack. I still like the XLT cloth seats over the Lariat leather ones in the cold, but you can't have everything...
