Sitting a little over 6k and averaging over 38mpg. About 4k of that has been interstate with cruise at 75. Normal driving I’ve been getting 45mpg no problem.

Last fill-up (3rd): 47 MPG by onboard. 48 MPG calculated. 2480 miles total. 600+ miles per fill-up (1st tank from dealer). The first two fill-ups had a 3-4 MPG higher onboard than calculated. Lots of suburban driving with 45 MPH speed limit.

43.4 per the onboard computer, I don't bother to calculate. That is with somewhere around 7800 miles on the odometer. Mostly rural highways.

I think hilly is almost as good as city. The coasting downhill and powering uphill mimics city traffic. I'd like to get out of Illinois and looking at the Ozarks which is a lot of ups and downs.
That probably is right...especially if I pay attention to maximize regenerative braking and electric usage while I drive! Being smart about your route also helps

See below. That's 80% highway miles, heavy AC usage, vacations with bikes handing out the tailgate, etc. If we didn't use AC so much I think we could get mid 40's.

I think part of the valve spring failure (carbon build up) is due to the nursing of that throttle that we all Hybrid owners like to do. Full open throttle will help with this build up. Until Ford puts stronger valve springs and or create a setting to burn off this build up.

But ya 45 is my average MPG 9 miles each way 18 miles total a day all street no highway.
Can you please expand? I'm a little suspect of you claim.

Almost 3k miles, mostly highway and I'm averaging just under 44mpg.

I’m coming up on 10,000 miles and have been in eco-mode since the beginning. I make a 900 mile round-trip every three weeks from FL to Northern SC using AC and driving with a somewhat heavy foot (75 mph). My trips usually average around 38.5 mpg and the rest of my city/rural driving averages around 55 mpg. My overall mpg is 43.4 and I am extremely happy with all the mileages!

Y’all must not be using the AC very much if you’re getting those kinds of numbers. It’s always on here in NC.
AC is surely a factor, but there's gotta be more to it. I run the AC full-time here in NC, and routinely blast past the EPA numbers.. I must have an ideal commute or something.
Note: You can subtract about 1 or 2 MPG from those display figures. They are always a bit overblown.

I could get 37+ (calculated) at 73mph pretty easily over a 400 mile drive. But not some of these truly spectacular reported mpg’s. I seldom do much extended “city” driving though. Definitely in the 40s when I do.

OK, I see. I have the opposite situation with almost entirely city driving. Had the thing 7 months, and have yet to do any significant highway driving. Man, I gotta get out of town! 😳

city driving....is phenomenal with MPG. It amazes me every day. I live along Lake Huron, in a small city/town of 30,000 and when I travel along the water, in town....I easily get 60-70 mpg. I don't drive it hard, and am conservative, but I don't "poke".
