Can anyone shed some light when comparing the two engines 3.0 diesel and the Powerboost in the F150 on fuel mileage?

I'm averaging 22.5 with less than 1k miles on the 3.0 and that seems to be slowly increasing as it breaks inCan anyone shed some light when comparing the two engines 3.0 diesel and the Powerboost in the F150 on fuel mileage?

Dang, that's pretty much the same milage loaded or not. I was hoping for good mileage towing and it sounds like I won't be disappointedAt 8K miles now I'm getting 24.7 to 25 mpg. When I pull my 16 ft. bumper pull trailer with a load on it. Mileage drops a 10 of a point in mileage only. I don't think the Powerboost trucks are getting that or any better.
I highly doubt he is getting that high of mpg while loaded. My guess would be between 10-12 mpg with a decent trailer being towed.Dang, that's pretty much the same milage loaded or not. I was hoping for good mileage towing and it sounds like I won't be disappointed
My load in the 16ft. bumper trailer is 100 - 50 lb of horse feed on 2 pallets and the trailer weight weighing about 1600 lbs for a total weight of 6,600 lbs.

Do you reset your mpg at the start of your trip with the trailer?My load in the 16ft. bumper trailer is 100 - 50 lb of horse feed on 2 pallets and the trailer weight weighing about 1600 lbs for a total weight of 6,600 lbs. Driving between 65 to 70 speed with a

No I don't reset my mpg at the start of towing the trailer, and I know what you're going to sayDo you reset your mpg at the start of your trip with the trailer?
Wow those are pretty low numbers for the PB. I’m about 5500 miles in on mine with a total average of 25.1. I reset one trip each tank, leave the other one rolling for the lifetime average. Some tanks are around 24.6, some around 25.3. No towing to date.3.5 Powerboost and 3.73 axel, 5,670 miles on the truck:
- I always reset Trip 1 after each fill up. current tank is half way, I’ve gone 385 miles and 105 miles electric. Reading a 22.1 MPG on the truck meter
- Trip 2 I never reset since I bought it and it is reading 21.3 MPG overall.
- my truck has seen more city driving than HWY. and hasn’t hooked up to a trailer yet.
really!?? Wow that’s great. Granted I am always on normal mode. Are you on normal as well? I’ve seen some getting similar number as yours stating they are on eco mode (which I just can’t do)Wow those are pretty low numbers for the PB.

Yeah, I only use normal mode, haven’t noticed any increase from Eco myself. I think it all just comes down to driving habits and how much you stay out of the boost and how well you cans squeeze additional electric miles out of it.really!?? Wow that’s great.
