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

[NY Cowboy]

What tires are you running?

Stock tires, Goodyear truck is stock except for the rolltrax bed cover.

I think hills make a huge difference. Everywhere I go in NorCal, I need to go up and down some large hills. But it seems like other guys in places like FL achieve far better mileage.

Nice! Thanks for the info. Just curious ... was there much of a tailwind to help out?

Not really that I noted. think mostly was due to lack of traffic to make changing speeds necessary. was pretty smooth sailing all the way home. of course, when I hit MI line, mpg started dropping due to increased speeds..

After 12K miles I have averaged 24-25 in the summer and 22-23 in the winter, mostly back road driving with maybe 1/4 highway miles here in NH.

Now that we're getting consistently cooler temps here, I'm seeing about ~10-15% drop in fuel economy for my drive to work, coming home isn't affected as much, maybe ~5% lower. This is fairly consistent with what I've had in prior vehicles, so not a huge issue. Still averaging 21-22 mpg overall.

Try 160 man.

106 is a walk in the park and max speed limiter. It would pull to 140 quickly no doubt if Un governed. Probably need a driveshaft loop before we take a Powerboost to 140 though. Lol.

Love the 03/04 cobra gauge cluster. I have a 04 mystichrome cobra!

I just ajusted the AFE I had to take mine down to 906!!! Needless to say our PowerBoost is the only vehicle I have owned that has gotten far worse MPG actual than what the window sticker posts. 19.6mpg combined, my 2018 EcoBoost 2.7L got 25.4mpg combined, not sure I made the right decision on this PowerBoost.

I also need to see if there is any electrical connection issue, as the battery system always seems to need to be charged/charging, very little electric driving.

One thing I found is that you should make sure your ProPower generator is turned off - the truck gets way worse mileage if you leave it on even if not powering anything. I made that mistake and could not figure out why mileage had suddenly dropped about 3mpg - it was because I had left it in the on position (7.2kw).

I was getting around 18.5 mpg on my latest gas tank and I couldn't figure out why. I noticed my tire pressures on 285/70R17 LT load E were around 33 psi cold. I pumped them up to 45 psi cold and now I am getting the expected 21-22 mpg again. This is on 91 octane.

For the initial drive from PA to FL with stops in MD and VA to visit family between Friday and Monday, doing 70-80mph most of the time, it averaged between 20-21 mpg. On the first commute back to the office today, it was getting almost 25. That's the same as what our Subaru Outback gets!!! The trick is to stay between 30-40mph and speed up and then brake to coast in electric. ymmv.

And on commute back home, 24 MPG.

Currently getting 19.9 since I bought it in September August.
The typical commute is up and down mountain road from 8300 to 9500ft over about 8 miles each way (gets about 12.5 MPG uphill).
I tend to run regular gas.

 

[brook52]

got my powerboost a week ago, trip computer was at 17 MPG when i left the dealer, been steadily going down now its at 13MPG!
All city driving in NY, i knew i wasnt getting to get the full 24MPG in heavy city driving but disappointed with 13MPG! I drive pretty light, tire pressure is good.
Anybody else getting numbers this low?

I'm not quite that high here in Park City, but yeah, between the cold and going up and down the canyon to Salt Lake, I'm only about 19mpg. Looking forward to seeing what happens on a warmer, flatter road trip in the summer. And 19 is still a good chunk better than the 15-16 my 4Runner got.

1st tank gauge said 20.6 but hand calculated was 16.3. The tires make a decent difference and I remote start it a lot
