Not bad, I would say fantastic! My badlands has averages 21.7 mpg, does around 19mpg in the city and 27mpg on the highway.My badlands at little over 5900 miles getting 28.8 mpg running mix of highway and city....I am letting it shut down at lights and running eco mode most of the time....still not bad in my eyes !!
Best overall: 41.4 mpg on a quiet two lane highway at 60 mph.
Best so far over a long distance: 36.6 mpg on an approx 190 mile trip.
Odd, I've spent some time in Eco.After all these reports of great fuel consumption I finally tried eco mode. Lasted about 3 miles on it, felt like I had a 1.0L engine.... I think I can live with my low mpg.
You can get 40 plus. Simply reset at the top of a long down hill or get up to 75 and coast...here is my screen shot...would like to see 40 plus....that seems high...
I live in the foothills so always either going up or down So I prefer the pedal response in normal mode, maybe I will try again on the highway on my next road trip. Agreed on the custom settings, and the stop/start is completely erratic. Some days it comes on every stop, some days it doesn’t come on at all. I get not turning on when its 90F out and it has to cool the car, but most of the time it is 70f out and asking for 72f in.Odd, I've spent some time in Eco.
Yes it's a bit enemic but pressing on the gas more when I need power gives it up just fine.
The extra 1.0 mpg I get is nice but like the stop start thing I cannot set it and forget it.
Having no way to make custom settings that hold from the day before is IMO a blunder on Ford's part.
I wonder if the computer is measuring fuel consumption properly on some BS? It doesn’t seem feasible to me when the EPA combined mileage is 23mpg, which is still better than what I am getting.here is my screen shot...would like to see 40 plus....that seems high...
My screen shot was posted in response to another member claiming 40 plus mpg....I have no thoughts of ever seeing these numbers in my badlands...but figured maybe he / she could post their screen to support their claim.....although I probably still could use counciling of some sort !!!You can get 40 plus. Simply reset at the top of a long down hill or get up to 75 and coast...
Take your dash picture before you start driving normal.
I can hold 34 mpg's for almost a quarter of a tank IF I really play with it.
Lots of coasting, using downhills to gain extra speed. Or a steady 55 or 60 on level straight ground for what, 20 miles.
No one is holding these high mpg's over multi tank averages.
If someone claims this is think counciling would be in order..
I call Bull Hockey !! :'P
I resemble that remark I do :'D....although I probably still could use counciling of some sort !!!
