I know mileage has been discussed here alot. But this is just about a change in mileage after software update. I want to see if I am not alone. I have a 2021 poweboost platinum 6.5 box. For the first 19000 miles I had an overall average of 22mpg. After not getting the OTA updates that would activate bluecruise I took it into the dealer. After several attempts and calls to ford engineers, it was returned to me with Bluescruise finally working. Now, however I am only able to get 14-16mpg average! it also seems like the way it displays the mileage has ’reversed.’ It used to be I would start of and it would drop from 999.99 down to actual mileage based on my driving. If I were going downhill or coasting it would often show 30+ mpg. Now it starts off low 1.5 to 1.9 and slowly crawls up based on driving conditions. This means my daily trip to my office that is only 2.1 miles and I can get 1.0 electric miles I was getting 24-27 on, I now can barely get to 15. I am trying to figure out how this happened, but it just seems to be related to the timing of the software updates. I can understand a small drop going to winter gas, but that does not explain the way the computer is counting up and not down. As a test today I started facing down a 1/2 mile hill. I started and tapped the gas to get it out of elecric mode. Rolled down hill without even touching the gas and only got 11.5! Previously If I had don that it would have been like 40+. Does this sound like there is something wrong? Am I crazy? (dont ask my wife) Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Do all of your mileage meters start high and then go down? Ho-ing for as much feedback as I can get to take to service and try to get it look at. THX!!
