I seen this on YouTube. Wish I had the ability to build this. So it would stay in eco mode.

Thanks for finding this. He said something in the video about modules being made for this purpose so I'm going to look around and see what's available.
Thanks again.
I have the 4k maverick as well… this is the milage i always getUsing eco mode I was able to get over 500 miles on one tank. I'm so happyThat's with combined City & highway. One day is 22 miles to work and back home. That equals 1 month of back and forth
to get that mileage I was easy on the gas pedal. And coasted to stops when I could. Not sure how many times I'll be able to do it again. Because I'm normally not easy on the pedal
plus Winter is coming and I probably won't get as good of gas mileage. Loving my Maverick
you must just like the accellerator normally haha or drive more city/town driving. I’m like 85-90% highway driving for my commutes. Glad you found your way to 30+ mpg though! Woot wooootSponsored

Well cold weather has really affected gas mileage. Can't wait for good weather and good gas mileage to return. It's just a little cold here in Wisconsin tonight at least it's still better gas mileage than my 2001 Ranger LoL.

I have always driven with one eye on my MPG readout. When I picked up the new Maverick, I had a long trip to bring it home. It was getting 33MPG on the highway in Normal mode and I was pleased with that... it was better than my Forester would get, and it came along with much better throttle response, passing power, etc.
I did put it into Eco mode a few times out of curiosity on the trip home, but the throttle response was so poor compared to Normal mode I quickly switched back. That was highway driving. I'll have to try it in my every day driving at home. I'm in a hilly, rural area so I don't know how it will do.
As for running a car down to fumes, I would never do it. I rarely let mine get below 1/2 full. I live in the sticks and the nearest hospital is 25 miles away. The weather can be life-threatening here, too. I wouldn't want to get stranded in a winter storm with an empty gas tank.

It says online, A experiment must be repeatable three times to be valid.
500+ miles per tank three in a row
The 567.8 mile run I was just coming up to a station. After filling up with 87 octane. I reset the trip meter It said I could do 600 miles! Unfortunately at the beginning of the 600 mile run. I had to help someone move which killed my mileage. But I still hit 500+. I am on pace for 500 again, I love the Mavericks gas mileage unfortunately in the winter there is no way to hit 500 miles when it gets to be -15° in Wisconsin

600 miles with an EcoBoost would be crazy!
