Thread: Seems too good to be true.

I guess I'll be the first... What are other peoples mpg's? I'm getting around 20mpg. I average 110 miles per day of mostly 60MPH(cruise control on for most). I was told it gets alot better AFTER 3K miles when the engine is considered broken in, I sure hope so.

I agree 20 MPG is great for these trucks. I'm averaging 16-17 highway in my truck.

I can't wait for 4k. I should be there in about 7 weeks... I was getting between 13 to 15 in my old Ram and almost turned in my ManCard when I was considering getting a tiny car. I then found this truck w/ EcoBoost. My friend told me to check out the youtube videos and I couldn't believe it. That is until I actually got to test drive it for a full day. It's a great ride and almost drives like a car. Pleased so far.

I just got my 2012 eco boost last week and love it so far...the truck is great and rides great...only thing I noticed is a jerk sometimes when I'm slowing down between 3rd and 4rth gear it will jerk alittle. Not much but enough that I notice it when I'm driving it. I called ford and they said they may have to reset the transmission or something on it..is this accurate of them to do or just a easy way out

I have 7,500 miles on my EB with an average over the last 4,000 miles of 15.9. I drive an average of 30 miles a day to and from work. I drive on the Interstate on most of the miles at an average speed of 80 which is why I don't get better than 15.9. If I drive 55 it gets a lot better.

I have 6600 miles on mind. 2 whl drive. with 3.55 gears / 20" whls. i drive 11 miles round trip to work. I can get it up to 17 if I keep my foot out of it. Which is hard to do. Most of the time I'm around 16 or so. One 300 mile road trip yielded 18.5. I spent a lot of time driving 70+ also. As for the power, amazing that a 5200 lb. vehicle with a V-6 runs this well. Tops out in the 1/4 mile at 100 mph. Just under 15 seconds. I've left several folks behind at the light and even one Law Enforcement officer in a Hemi Charger. Unmarked dark grey. The light turned green, I took off, he was in left lane, just behind me, already moving, I pressed on the pedal about 1/3 of the way, he hit the pedal, started pulling on me, so i pressed a little harder and he pressed harder so i buried the pedal, and took off. At about 85, he took a left and disappeared. When he slowed down to turn left is when I realized it was an unmarked patrol vehicle. I waited for a ticket in the mail ,never came. Thank God!!!

The V6 has the same mileage as the V8 and less power and is more complex.
