Put the new 5.0 to work this weekend. Ran down to Austin, averaged (computer display) 21.1 headed down there 65-70 (Dallas-Austin-Waco)
Then Waco to Dallas cruised 60 mph and pulled 23.7 (computer display).
Then today I loaded her up with 4 80lb bags of concrete, got to break in the bed rug finally

 

Good mpg. There is not much wind today.

 

driving was yesterday....

 

Hmm... I got that mileage with my old 3.7. That's VERY good mileage for a full size V8 truck. Most I've ever gotten out of the Eco is 19 hwy on a long trip.

 

still during break in too, should go up after i get past the 1000 mile mark

 

Man. Perhaps I need to ease up on the throttle a bit.

 

Speed and wind are the keys. Running 75 really eats into it.

 

How can you drive that slow? Id go nuts

75 percent of the miles on my Eb has been at 80mph or over and the computer is still showing 18.0 mpg lifetime

 

 

Need to get an oil change.

 

I reset the MPG calculator and the TripA on every fill up

 

That is what I do. I have never reset the efficiency screen. I reset Trip A every fillip and reset Trip B when I want to check some part of a trip between fill ups.

 

Just called a toll free number to order a couple of courses I have to take for CPA continuing education and they answered with some hot sex talk line. I dialed the wrong number by one digit. Thought accounting had just gotten more interesting.

 

I plan on using TripB as oil change interval mileage

 

100 miles traveled, at 60 mph vs 75 mph is only about 15 minutes longer of a drive. Not bad at all
