2026 Maverick XLT hybrid. Purchased it 8 days ago. Driving it around town and 2 trips to my cabin. Today was the first day, going home from my cabin (about 82 miles), that I felt I was beginning to get it.
It seems to be a lot about having a soft touch to both the accelerator and break. Am I right? Half the trip is highway and the other half is slower stop-and-go through small towns. I used normal mode today through the small towns and Eco mode on the highway. I achieved 51.5 mpg. I tried to keep it under 65 mph on the highway.
I figured, with today’s gas prices, I’m saving about $15 round-trip from my previous non-hybrid vehicle. Not earth shattering but interesting nonetheless. Free money is always good!
