I've checked MPGs a couple of times with pen and paper, the dash display has been plus .5-1 mpg off of my figures. Even with that in mind, I'm happy with this. I've been seeing 19-21 highway mpg on my 60 mile round trip to work. The dash tells me 23.9 so even if it's 1 mpg off, I still take 22.8 out of a 5.0 with 3.73 gears. When I pulled in the garage, it was up to 23.9, wonder if I could hit 24 if I kept rolling down the four lane?

I went from Knoxville, TN to St. Pete, FL (700 miles) and hand-calculated 23.1 mpg. This was with a 2.7L EcoBoost, 4x4, 3 adults and their associated crap in the bed. Coming back up to TN, I saw a 1 mpg drop in mileage. I was very happy with those numbers for such a long trip, given that I only have the 23 gallon fuel tank.

If my 2018 Lariat (2.7 Eco, 4dr Crew Cab, 6.5' box, 4x2) comes in on time we may actually take it on a 2600 mile round trip at the end of June. I will post what I see. BTW, I'm actually a stickler for keeping records (probably because of my engineering background).

No idea how y'all are doing this or if there's something wrong w/ my truck (dealer will say "unable to reproduce" or "normal"). On pure highway driving, I typically get 17-18. I have rarely gotten 21 when doing 65 with the cruise on FLAT terrain. 3.55 gears 5.0L crew cab 4x4.

Just have to weigh out what you're wanting as speed (time) vs economy
