Hybrid Maverick gets 44.1 MPG on 34 mile trip (by TFL)

Show us the total average mpg, whoever you are that can’t hear me!

Come on Ford, build, build, build. I'm getting older bye the day, need my Maverick hybrid Rapid Red First Edition ASPA. As the price of gas goes up, that 40+ mpg is looking better all the time. Being on a fixed income , as the price of gas goes up, my fun money is going down

With the Hybrid averaging 44-50 mpg and the 2.0 EB averaging 30-35 mpg - I think Ford has a winner here. Glad I'm in the mix.

Thats awesome! Sounds like they are getting better than the projected 40mpg! Can’t wait to get my xl!

That is 30% battery drive time. Levins "50" mpg truck actually was getting 35.....still great though

I believe the computers are optimistic, but, I believe when measured in real life, the hybrid is going to meet Ford's targeted 40 city.

I have a feeling (maybe I'm biasedly optimistic) that the city number will come out over 40 since the Escape is rated 44.

At one time I saw the target as 41. All I'm saying is, the computer readouts, both hybrid and Ecoboost, are probably higher than if you actually measured in person

Seems possible as the Maverick hybrid weighs about the same as the Escape hybrid.

Yeah for sure. Interestingly, my current car is usually within about 1mpg of my tank-to-tank manual calculated mpg. I think it has a lot to do with the type of driving and how you drive, but I don't think I've ever seen it under estimate mpg.

Yep. The hwy # might take a hit, but I don't see why I shouldn't get near the Escape in the city.

They will be. They are not going to publish a figure that is low.

I had a 2014 F-150 with scary MPG accuracy on the computer. I did my own calculations and it was spot on nearly every time. I couldn’t afford 14MPG anymore and got a Prius. The Toyota crew probably had a hell of a laugh.

Just watched the Video by TFL and Andray mentioned the f'ing 1 liter water bottles at least 3 times. I wanted to puke. At least there was no orange soda being opened on the bed.
