Maverick 2.0 Mileage Tested

[Anton4]

Be aware also that the mileage indicated on your display is more than likely inaccurate. In my tests, the actual calculated mileage is usually about 1 mpg less.

none of the milages has been tested...
they could easily be off by ??


I now have 4100 miles in 10 days from new

I have an AWD with Tow pkg

30.8 tires give some extra distance with larger circumference
speedometer test at dealer indicated
4 mph greater than shown at 70 mph


All my tests are in normal mode
sport mode for example adds 1000 ram

but all my tests are consistent with each other.
basically, milage is best when the RPM is as low as possible .. Duh!

I consistently get the best results at 65 MPH
at 1650- 1700 RPM

I have some other screen images at different test conditions I will put here...
in the next couple of days

the one today is normal driving along I 40 from the Arkansas border to Graceland

I stopped last night to stay as far west to avoid the fate of the poor twister victoms
with all sorts of construction and battling with groups of 5 - 15 semis challenging my right to use the highway today

consistently.. the best numbers come from the lightest pedal you need to maintain whatever speed

I hope this has been helpful
I feel as though I understand my truck as far as milage goes...pretty well now

Did you test at the pump?

I'm assuming you have an EcoBoost FWD. The EPA numbers for that configuration shows a combined mileage of 26 MPG -- pretty close to what you are reporting. So it seems like you're giving us a real-world confirmation of those numbers.

I have AWD with Tow pkg

Has anyone done a millage test with high octane vs 87

I have plans for doing that while driving around Texas in a month or so
using refinery fresh premium from the same brand for the tests

Aloha all ,

I just discovered something that has a bearing on mileage!

I have the all-wheel drive that if I disable the traction control which disable the all-wheel drive...
I immediately noticed I'm able to drive 70 at 1800 rpm ....and the mileage is already noticeably better on the short distance I did today maybe 2 + mph

I was going 70, sometimes over on hilly busy fast moving traffic going south on 65 south from Grand Ol Oprey in Nashville to Birmingham Alabama

I'll do another controlled test tomorrow when I go through Tupelo MS (where Elvis was born) going west to travel down highway 61 the blues highway..
that Dylan referred to in his Highway 61
album.....
Hmmmm...... I will listen to that album as I drive the Highway.

milage 4445 in 11 days

this is a very handy tire size specifications list gives all size relevant info

All highway miles for me. Rain storm so 55-65 mph.

This is what happens when you use BP Premium Gas in a Ecoboost.

Was getting 26 mpg city driving, then used BP Premium Gas and immediately the mpg jumped to 30 mpg and climbs more every trip.

Thankfully order banks are closed until at least August.

That give plenty of time with warm weather to see how the 2.0 AWD does. The mileage that's barely better than my current trucks is a reason I didn't jump on the 2.0

I'm guessing that the premium has no ethanol? That would be most of the difference. I did a 200 mile test the other day & got 29.7 hand calculated with 87-E10, & 145 of those miles the cruise was set at 75. I will be repeating the test once I can run down the tank & refill with 91 with no eth & am expecting the number to be between 32-33 for my FWD EB.

The best I have got with my Mav is 27.4 so far. She has got 2100 miles on her and I love my Mav not one complaint

I'm not sure doing 60-65 MPH (and sometimes as low as 50 MPH) on highways with posted 70 MPH speed limits are "real world" driving results. You might be saving a couple of MPG, but you're at high-risk of being shot in a road rage incident! Additionally, you would be a traffic hazard to other motorists.

Unless posts include hand calculated mpg at the pump, I give no credibility to the results. In a recent 200 mile highway trip in my 4 banger 2017 Camry, the "computer" readout was 37 mpg, and hand calculating resulted in 33.5 mpg. That's a whopping 3.5 mpg or 10% less! So unless you prefer to live in Dreamland, and these days I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing, please take 2 minutes to hand calculate your mileage, preferably over several trips/fill-ups
