Anyone getting worse MPG?

[T-Rev]

My horses like to run free and get very thirsty. Anyone with at least 5000 miles average worse than or similar to 14.3 MPG?

If I don't GAF in the city I'll get that. I average 18+ city highway.

Get arond 17.2. 70% highway. but pretty congested. When it goes free, i can get low 20's, but only strickly highway, and have to baby it.

Yeah - if I’m having fun offroad I’ll easily get to 14mpg (16L/100km)

Normal driving conditions with a mix of city and Hwy I get around 19-20mpg (11.5-12L/100)

i thought i drove hard and i'm getting 12.1L/100km on winter gas and cold weather.
Guess I shouldnt complain

My driving is about 65% highway/Interstate. There is a huge speed differential here on the roads. The average age is 70 years old and so many drivers doing 10 under which present constant WOT passing opportunities. Lots of left lane campers too who decide they need to speed up when you try passing. Plus stop and go even on the Interstate due to urban congestion.

I was averaging 14.8 for the first 5000 miles before getting the FP tune. The summers are hot here so remote start gets used often which doesn't help. I'm sure the main culprit is me though as I have a tungsten foot. The best MPG I've gotten was driving the truck from Michigan to Florida after purchasing. I got mid 16's but was also varying RPM the whole way for a proper break-in.

Holy crap! I’m getting 22-23, but I’m mostly a pretty tame driver.

I’m finding that head/side winds compete with my foot to reduce GPM.

Mine is tuned running 92, I average 17.4 with winter gas.

I'm getting 20.4 combined city / highway on a 24 4x4 2.7 Lariat FX. Three hour highway trips show 22.7 mpg @ 65mph. Measured using the onboard trip function. For reference, my 24 Bronco BB 2.3 AT gets 23.0 combined.

Yea, we have a lot of retirees around here as well. One of the reasons why I bought the 2.7 Lariat was because of my experience with a 2.3 Bronco - the turbo lag / lack of torque to pass at lowish speeds was maddening.

Mostly highway running 5 MPH over the speed limit. Using 87 octane, no tune or anything special getting 16-17.5 MPG in PA.

 

[RaptorBlue]

Yes, I got you beat. I'm UP TO 13.6 now. 1% highway, 99% racing between lights

 

[Dingus83]

Since I got the FP tune I've dropped from 18.8 to 17.3-17.5. Winter fuel is probably also contributing to this.

I installed the TUNE and running in sport mode I'm showing 18+ city , response is great feels much different then before the tune. Did show 24 MPG on a short HGWY trip running 91 octane
