Hypermiling Challenge for 2.0 EcoBoost Mavericks

[pxpaulx]

Well for a non-hybrid Maverick 22.8 mpg is the best I can mustard up!!

You know everyone that had posted here is posting Ecoboost numbers right? That is a low number, you must be driving all stop and go and short trips.

My averages are even lower (18-19mpg) but pretty much all my driving has been stop and go to work and back 7mi each way with about 20 stop lights and hills, no highways. And my driving analysis in FordPass Journeys says I accelerate and brake too hard (shocker!!). Might have something to do with it too....

Well, it is not Eco+Boost, it is more like Eco/Boost....you can have one or the other but not both!!

This is where I would post my Mav's MPGs - IF I HAD ONE!

Ha, joking aside, good numbers from people here. I struggle to get 30 MPG in my Crosstrek, bit of a lead foot from stops (anemic 148 HP engine). Sounds like the turbo helps a little there.

I'm half way thru my 3rd tank of gas, just did a highway trip this afternoon, sticking to 100 km/h, taking it easy, saw the city average of around 9 liters/100 kms, drop to 8.5. My average fuel economy indication is about .5 optimistic, so actual combined is close to 9 liters/100 kms, or 26.1 mpg US. Pretty good IMO considering it's full on winter here, and that's on sticky Michelin X-ice snow tires.

That’s about where I’m at overall. Mostly small “spirited” drives

My old 2011 Impreza (2.5L) started dipping below 20mpg after about 160K miles. It never did better than 25mpg combined even when new.

Yes I got mine right after the redesigned before they started stacking them higher, tough put a lot of stuff in it, Ran fine,just always sucked on gas for such a small car…

even more impressive on snow tires!!

Ok, an update on my trucks calculated 38MPG. I filled it up @ about 150mi. Calculated @ the pump I got 34.45MPG or 6.83L/100km for our friends up north. Pretty amazing.

I live in Arizona so “winter” here is 75deg F or 24C so nice. Sorry for all you folks who have to deal with snow every day!

BTW, I have since learned that driving your EB in this manner for prolonged periods is not so good for the direct infection. Build up of carbon and such.

Happy travels!

That's crazy good fuel economy!

Wow. That's best fuel economy that I've seen posted anywhere - that works out to 6.1 L/100 kms, or 46.6 mpg Imp.

 

[Maverick_Maybe]

This "Best" is in a 2020 5.3L Silverado dropping out of Tahoe into Sacramento, achieved upper 40s going into Sedona (Vortex?) but no pic. Not much of a point other than driving conditions have a huge impact on MPG. Gravity can be your best friend, or your worse enemy.

We're in deep winter now, fuel economy takes a real hit once it snows and gets cold. That 6.7 liters/100 kms indicated was a best case scenario, all highway, steady state 100 kmh (62 mph) speed.

I've got about 1,400 kms on my XLT 4K tow ATM, and am on my 3rd tank of gas. 1st tank average combined was 9 liters/100 kms (26.1 mpg US), and 2nd tank combined average was 8.7 liters/100 kms (27 mpg US). Lots of city driving in the combined.

Wow that's about $5.41 per gallon in the US.. - Better get that economy up to 40 MPG

It's $1.30/liter ATM. High gas prices, and fuel economy figured heavily into the Maverick purchase. The Nissan Frontier I had before was good to me, but a gas hog, might as well have been driving a full size truck.

I took this pic 2 weeks ago and had just filled up and drove home.
