I’m pretty happy with the economy my XLT 2.0 AWD FX4 is achieving.

I have the same but I usually average 30. Not sure how you got that much.

Lightly loaded (2 adults, 1 small dog, and a week’s luggage), cruise control set to highway speed limits (average 52 mph) and a light tailwind!

All highway? Great numbers for 133.4 miles, 52avg definitely helps I'm hovering at 25 now, 60/40 city/highway, ECO and light throttle cruisin, highway @65+.

I've been experimenting with the ASS system, helps with idle drag but not necessarily enough that I could leave ASS on for the life of the truck, ASS is aggressive especially in the recent TX heat, and I hate the idea that its excessively wearing down the starter

ASS doesnt start and stop like a normal start/stop, it stops the motor at TDC and doesnt use/need nearly the same power to fire back up. Also for me in the Texas heat i hardly have my ASS do anything. its pretty useless 95* in my experience.

I drive aggressive, in suburbia stop signs and traffic lights…get up to speed and have stop, getting 24 mpg. Thrilled with that and dang my Maverick likes to move with a purpose.

Wonder how it stops at TDC? Seems impossible to do.

I was in hot pursuit two days ago with a hit in run escape attempt- This truck likes to dance

Probably any of the vast amount of sensors under the hood. I imagine there's plenty things that can send info back for timing purposes that know when to kill the motor in the most efficient spot.

Just checked on fuelly.com, where the average is 24.5 mpg.

It certainly does, for me at about 20 mph with turbo loaded it gets to 80 in a blink. It’s fun to drive and I can haul a sofa. Incredible!

My FX/4 4.0 gets 14 with that drag racing 4.11 rear end. Man, she's a good little truck, but the old gal sure loves to drink gas. I'm gonna miss her when the day comes but not the gas receipts.

I hope I get numbers close to that with my EB.

Damaged Mavs make me sad? Flip side, repair photos are great
