Lower Gas Mileage in Hybrid

[topgun]

Put your screen on the coaching screen which shows when you are using "electric" and adjust your speed and driving to maximize the electric driving.

Thanks l am doing this and have concluded (maybe stating obvious) that higher the speed lower the mileage.

This gentleman has done experiments to show this :-

Hi All, looking for some advice - l have driven my Lariat Hybrid 2400 miles in 3 months but average mileage reported on dash has hovered between 34 to 36 MPG.

My 80% drive is highway at 65 to 75 MPH.

Many members here have reported getting mileage of 40 & higher, so not sure if there’s something wrong with my truck or my driving.

Any suggestions?

Go 60 in right lane, youll get over 40

That sounds about right for the type of driving you are doing. Around town put it in Eco mode with the little green leaf (Ford says: "Ideal for driving at a slower pace, typically under 45 miles per hour", and the display set at EV Coach (Ford says "for hybrid specific information"). Around town you should get WAY better than what the window sticker says. This from a recent drive across town here:

I drive mostly around town. I consistently get a little over 40MPG. 2024 XLT hybrid. I rarely remember to put it in eco mode.

I have not done much testing with ECO/Normal, I do know there is no way im going to get 40 mpg at 70mph, that would take a dash readout lying to me and some getting up to hyway speeds like gramma and pissing everyone off behind me, im just not going to drive like some idiot trying to squeeze every mile out of the thing. I have tried ECO a few times and not seen anything on the interstate that looked promising so I don`t bother with it. If your at 34-37mpg hiway I would say your there, Im totally happy at 34-35 over the Tacoma I had that got 19mpg for the same trips
