What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

[mdn14]

With a loaded lariat, fox stage 1 level and 285/65R20 KO2s I get about 18.5 mpg mixed city and highway - dont worry, the speedo is corrected.

Once there tires are used up, I'll likely go back to the stock size and lower the front about an inch or inch and a half.

Occasionally my individual trips will read in the low 20s (AFE bias also corrected for the overall tank mpg) but I cant get a full tank that high.

Still on our initial tank of gas from dealer. So far the truck has 350 miles, and trip computer is showing 18.2 mpg. Hope this number goes up with the next tank. We drove it about 50/50 highway and street. Even on highway we did not go over 70mph often.

Is the gas mileage initial always this bad?

Took a drive the other day. Was a mix backroads and highway, top speed 65 but a fair amount in the 40-55mph range. Looked down and was shocked at the mpg I got. No real gear loaded and just me and two kids in the truck. Stock everything. If i remember correctly weather was in the upper 60's.

I was pretty happy with my 23 MPG indicated tank with 680 miles between fill ups and over 100 miles of that was electric.

The weather turning has helped me gain a few mpg. My latest tank has resulted in 19.6 mpg and my current trip has fluctuated between 20 and 20.5. We'll see how accurate that turns out when I fill up again in a week or so

Most importantly to me is what mpg I can't get. Bad! No matter how much I dog this truck my mileage hovers around 20. I've had powerful vehicles that were capable of putting up decent mileage numbers if you babied them just right, but I can run for 13 miles above 90mph then finish my 22 mile commute at normal traffic speeds and back into my driveway with 19.9mpg showing for "This Trip" lol. It's just that good.

Buy a PowerBoost and stop thinking about gas mileage.

*Boats are fun to think about.

Impressive!
My mpg is not nearly that high.
I use normal mode and drive pretty fast.
Low twenties are typical for me.
I just passed 3000mi so perhaps it will improve a little over time without changing my driving style. Either way I'm astonished at the performance/mpg combination of this 5800lb. vehicle.

On our 3rd tank now. Getting 19,20,19 so far on each tank with max driving on Southern California. We are using 87 gas by the way. Not sure how people get mid 20s. The truck is for my wife and son and his fencing gears, I serious doubt she’s ever driven over 75 mph.

Getting 9-10 L/100km around town now.

2.5 tanks in. One was 10.58L/100KM the other was 10.65L/100KM.

# Date km Litres L/100km Price City % Note
3 5/13/23 1,066.71 112.900 10.58 1.479 20%
2 4/27/23 1,062.01 113.082 10.65 1.469 20%

Currently on tank 3 and I'm at 9.7L/100KM over the first 600km of this tank. All three tanks are mixed hwy/city with a bias to hwy.

If you drove this thing only in the city I'd estimate 8L/100KM is achievable. My hwy avg speed would be 110kph/69mph.
