What 'severyone getting for MPG with the ecoboost?

[Motorjunkie]

What is everyone getting for MPG with the ecoboost? Mine averages between 35 and 38 MPG! That's way above the 30 MPG the EPA claimed not complaining just want to know if this is about what everyone else is getting. Mine is a 2.0 Lariat FWD no mods yet!!!

26 city, 30 highway. Actual math figures. Dash is about 1 mpg optimistic.

wassup with that Mustang though? Details?

That's a 2004 Mustang GT convertible, 5 speed, 22 MPG. Owned since 2006.

I am fond of white ponies!

I'm getting 24-25 mixed. I use ECO in traffic. I've been getting 31-32 on the highway.

Dash display says 19 mpg. Have less than 2K miles. Drive to work is less than 5 minutes and I rarely drive it.

4K tow pack. Use Regular drive mode, and have used Sport a few times.

245/65/17 Mickey ATs, Buschur intake, MRT straight pipe no muff. I run 93 octane fuel. No tune yet.

Looking at JB4 with water/methanol injection and maybe an upgraded intercooler when something affordable becomes available.

You will greatly benefit from a good tune, but I'm sure you already know that. Is there anyone in your area with an all wheel chassis dino that has a good reputation with the Focus ST?

I haven't looked into dyno shops.

Where are you in Texas? We're in a really big state. If your around Houston I can stop in and talk to the guys I am gonna have work with the wife's Subaru. I stopped by and got a rough estimate for what I want to get done to it and they were very professional and seemed knowledgeable. I will eventually have them to work on my Mav. If they are as well versed with the EcoBoost as GTRs and Evos.

This was from my trip driving home from Iowa to Kentucky after picking it up from Granger Ford. 95% highway/interstate driving 75mph+. I could of gotten 500+ miles on a tank because I had 85 miles range showing before infilled up. Mine is EB Fwd XL.

2000 miles in and I've definitely learned that "slippery" mode gives better fuel economy than "eco." Last tank averaged 26.5 on the dash, 25.5 calculated.

Using eco was 23.5 on the dash and 22.6 calculated.

I will have to try the slippery mode. It does kinda make sense it should lessen throttle response and I would assume put the traction control in a more sensitive state basically further limiting the throttle response. Along with keeping the vehicle out of the "performance" aera of the power band... . I will give it a shot and post my results

The key, I think, is the lower shift points and typically higher gear choice.
