Gas MPG stays from 31.4 to 31.6

Oh no not the regular/premium thing again! LOL! My eb gets 27.5 lifetime avg. daughters escape gets 22, not sure why the difference?

Your tires on your trailer appear to be 10". They "can" have a speed rating of 87 mph (maximum) with a maximum load capacity of 1,300 lbs. (but only if it is a Load Range E tire), but that is pushing luck. A trailer that size with such small wheels (and wheel bearings) on such a small tow vehicle looks like an accident waiting to happen. I've seen far too many of these snowmobile trailers broken down along the road because either a tire litterally disintegrates, or the undersized wheel bearing disintegrate because of being pushed too hard.

Just wanted to comment on my MPG gas usage. I have had it for 3 months and have 2198 miles. Mostly hwy driving and it does vary much no matter what conditions. I have not seen it below 31.4.

Wonderful - I just drove up to Taos, NM from Albuquerque and back. I was 34 mpg through winding mountain roads and upper highway speeds. I do have a bed cover.

my 22 eco boost has almost 25,000 miles and 20 months, local driving average is 26 mpg. The second ordered 24 xl hybrid is scheduled to be built in september. We got my wifes 24 xl hybrid in december of 23 and gets 46 mpg local driving. I have been spending a lot of time deciding if i should replace my problem free 22 eco with a new 24 xl hybrid. Mpg is the big question.

My new in February XL now has about 14,500 trouble free miles on it. So…I spend some serious time in it! With around 80% highway (just a guess) I’m at 32.4 mpg. I tried a few tanks on mid and premium with no difference, so it’s mostly on the cheap stuff. Others see a bump up w the good stuff, but not me. I usually do about +8-10 over the limit. Not too fast, and I get out of the nutbags way when I see them screaming up behind me. Only once was it a Maverick! Black XLT on Rt 84 in NY…. Loads can be from just a set of golf clubs up to 4 people and 3 weeks of camping crap!
Anyways, I’m thrilled w the trucklet! Your mileage should actually get a little better after a few trips and a few oil changes. Keep up w the maintenance and hopefully yours is as faithful as mine!!
