Hybrid fuel mpg

[The Real Maverick]

So what you're saying is that even Google thinks that you drive too slow?

You have that Bass Ackwards buddy.
Google computes travel time based on aggregate data from thousands of drivers in real time.

It's funny you think that.

9 times out of 10 I arrive a few minutes ahead of when Google said I would.

impossible…. Google recalculates as you drive…. so you’ll never get there “ahead” of when Google says you will. Technically… It’ll always be exactly when Google said you would.
It’s not funny that I was thinking that…. it’s funny that my grandma probably passed you on that 750 mile tank. . You know I’m just messing with you. I saw the screen prints of your trip meter and that’s pretty impressive… no matter how fast you’re going.

Dude...

100% possible....

hit go to X....

Estimate 5:45 arrival.

I get there at 5:40.

Not rocket science.

That’s funny.. it is rocket science because your estimate would’ve changed to 5:40… matching your arrival time of 5:40. Mind blown.

Lots of people get better than the stated mpg’s.
Op, slow down, drive in the city more.
30 mpg on the highway in a pick up truck is phenomenal mileage.
I took it easy on an equal amount of city, mountain two lanes and Intersrate on a 200 mile ride and averaged 31 in my Ecoboost.
I kept it under 80 on the Interstate and no more than five over the speed limit any where else.
If I was in a hybrid on that same trip I have no doubt I’d average 38-40 mpg’s

No it doesn't. If I drop down to 65mph it may get 31mpg on the highway.

In the City I drive as conservative as possible and right to the speed limit and I have never averaged above 37mpg.

It's still great MPG, it just is not the stated MPG.

On my 1300 mile trip home with my 25, at a good 75 avg, I got a hair under 30... this was in normal mode. Same as you, Lar AWD w/4k. And of course EG!!

Since that, avg 65-70 on the highway I am hitting 31ish.

That was all hand calculated.

The almost 35 (34.9 and change) was hand and 40 is dash for this tank.

And surface streets of anywhere between 35 and 60, I am already up to 35... almost 40 in eco mode.

I got my '25 Lariat 4K AWD two weekends ago. I am already at 1500 miles. I have had two full weeks of commuting to work and then a 1000+ mile road trip, so I have had both extremes already for mpg tracking purposes. My commute is 15.5 miles each way for work. I consistently average 40 mpg for that drive. The speed limit is 65 mph on the highway, but I drive through the city for about a third of that mileage. My drive home is significantly better at around 45-48 mpg. The prevailing wind is out of the west and that is the direction I drive to go home. My other random trips around town not for work I get upper 30s to low 40s.

My road trip I was at a consistent 75+ mph for hundreds of miles and that mpg average is way less. I averaged 26 mpg on the way there and 27 mpg on the way back. My lifetime average so far for all of my 1500 miles is 30.1.

Probably old news, but TFL Truck did a follow up of their AWD hybrid XLT's fuel economy test and it's worth a watch IMO:

My drive to work is mostly flat. 9 miles one way and it takes 16-18 minutes so 30mph average. Depending on if I run the heater I get 47-58 mpg.

Over the past 5 days I have driven down 71 to Cincinnati from NW Columbus and back - roughly 275 mile round trip - 4 times.

I drove between 70-85 mph (with most miles drive between 72-77mph) and I never broke 30mpg on any trip.

I've come to grips with the fact the Maverick cannot achieve stated fuel economy.

Most of my driving is local and like that I'm getting almost 50mpg. Goes down about 5-10% in winter. I get a long highway drive in every other month and milage is maybe upper 30s. Except for canoe trips in the Ozarks or the U.P. The hills mimic city driving making the battery work giving me better mpg's.

Like I said above… I’m just messing with you.

Old news? It just posted hours ago lol

I have watched this one last night. Very interesting indeed. Always thought it was a myth with the increased mileage after break in period.

I'm on the lower side of the MPG range, but I'm usually at the higher end of the speed limit, and I don't take my time accelerating. (the new tires aren't helping either, but I rather have better traction than better MPG)

But when I'm forced to go slower, the computer calculated bumps back up to the 40s.

I just don't hypermile to get anything higher than that.
