Calculated 1 or 2 mpg lower on 87. But with only 2900 miles the jury is still out...

You leapt to far ....... internal combustion engines are what currently resides in the F-150. Motors are what will move the Lightning.OK...gotta make the leap, they are motors not engines.
Yeah...sorry about that....signed up for the F-150 Lightning EV sub-forum and forgot it's mostly an ICE palace.You leapt to far ....... internal combustion engines are what currently resides in the F-150. Motors are what will move the Lightning.
I drove about 640 miles on the highway with my 5.0L for a road trip and got about 24mpg averaging this speeds. Hoping to do the same on my way back today
I’m a truck driver so depending on who I’m talking to I sometimes call it my car so they don’t think I’m talking about my work truckIt does as much as calling an F150 a car.
How do you like the 5.0 in the Platinum? I ordered the same but I’m still waiting. I never even had the chance to drive a 5.0 as a test drive. I only got to drive the eco boost just to get the overall feel of the truck before ordering.That average is really good.....so far, just driving around town, I'm averaging about 17 MPG...with Platinum Edition 5.0 (1200 miles on truck so far)....anxious to get it our on the road for a lon trip....
What gears do you have 331 or 373 ect?I've been reading these mileage reports for all the engines except the 3.5 and the diesel and I'm pretty much convinced if you drive 68-72 MPH on the highway it doesn't matter if you have a 3.3, a 5.0 or a 2.7 you are going get 24 MPG. Do you guys think that's about right?
