Gas consumption question

[Irresistibleirk]

Hey, first time posting and owning a maverick. So 2 weeks ago I purchased a 2023 ford maverick XLT with the tremor package, to mainly haul fire wood. Since then I have noticed the gas mileage has been dropping down very quickly. When I fill up it registers at 670 km and my trip home (highway driving) is 80km away (average day is 160km). By the time I arrive home the tank registers at 550km and the l/100km is at 10-10.5L/100km; higher than the highway driving for a maverick being 8.1L/100km. A little background, I have not hauled anything yet in the truck, put in premium gas and no high rev driving (under or level to 2,000 RPM). With how fast I am going through gas, I have to fill up every 2-3days. After speaking with Ford Canada and the dealership they have both informed me to wait until 10,000 km for the truck to balance out on being more gas efficient.

Has anyone had this issue ?

My first 5 tanks in my 23 AWD EB (~3000km)

• 25.68MPG - 9.159L/100KM
• 25.92MPG - 9.075L/100KM
• 26.88MPG - 8.750L/100KM
• 28.84MPG - 8.155L/100KM
• 27.47MPG - 8.562L/100KM

Since then, the best tank I've seen was 32.57 MPG (7.22L/100KM) but that was ALL highway driving with a relatively light load in the back (luggage), and maybe some favorable winds.

So you can see it has improved as the computer tuned it up. But not really sure you can expect 8.1L/100Km with a full load of firewood in the back...

My highway driving gained a little fuel economy with a tonneau cover. I drive a Lariat with 4K tow. I had some early fuel-ups be low because of some heavy trailer towing, but I've been pretty consistent otherwise.

Tremor is rated 20/24 MPG for city/hwy
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/noframes/46368.shtml

that's 11.76 - 9.8L/100km

If you were hoping for 8.1, you messed up buying a Tremor!

Hybrid driven correctly consistently delivers 39 mpg 24-7

Thats good to know, as I plan to put a cover on soon.

Yeah I think I did. But It was the only maverick available at the time and I was unfamiliar with the tremor package and the dealer mentioned minor additions that I thought would not affect the mileage. Thank you for the information, this is what I have been looking for.

Thank you. I think its due to the tremor package on the truck that is causing the higher mileage.

Hi, I have a Lariat 2.0 4k tow package. I drive 40/60 highway city. I have a 9.5 km/l for the first 7,500km

Just make sure to play with it offroad to make use of the Tremor package and enjoy the extra fuel consumption!

It is rated for 24mpg hwy so you're getting well above the rating.

22 Lariat AWd 4k tow. Getting over 30 mpg. Found that it did go up about 3 mpg after 4 or 5 k miles on it.

23 Lariat hybrid with soft tonneau cover and 4100 miles. Driving two miles to work along with short highway trips on the weekend. Best mileage to date was 50 mpg. I do tend to drive like an old lady now to maximize my mpg. I have noticed a recent drop now that temps are cooling.

What in the world does the Tremor have to lose so much MPG. wow 24 hwy is bad rating.
