Another one that i use regularly is the mileage app for Android. You enter the total cost (or price per gallon) number of gallons and odometer reading, it will give you historical mileage for each fill-up, average fuel economy, worst/best, distance between fill ups, total annual cost, cost/mile and graphs of each of those data points. Can even export to excel. App is free.

thanks for that I do have Android phone will check that out....seems like the mileage is getting better as the tank drains down just under a half tank now and got 18.4 today, best yet on my daily commute......if this is the case I think I might be better off only filling it half way.....I am using the lie meter for now, even it were off by a mpg I`m still making out with this truck vs. my Superduty.....damn near paying for itself

I'm around the high 12 to low 13 range with my Eco with the winter time fuel and stop and go driving. Summer is low 15's. Highway during the warm weather months is around 18. Towing 8000# plus travel trailer is between 8-10 mpg. My lie-o-meter is between half and 1 mpg too high on on accuracy. My truck is big and heavy, so it is what it is.

Hey CuNum,
I've been driving 65mph on purpose to check the MPG.

I've averaged 19.6 on the trip computer in the last 7700mi since late sept. I drive around 80% highway at 65-70mph. All of my hand calculated tanks have been within 0.5mpg of the trip computer. I reset trip A and the mpg readout every tank and use trip B for my lifetime.

My dash computer is normally within a couple of tenth's MPG accuracy. Plus OR minus. Before I purchased my 2012 I checked every tank with a calculator for years....decades. After checking a dozen or so tanks in the Ford and finding that I was as close as I was my calculator rests comfortably in the bottom of my console.

My truck is a 2012 Super Crew 2wd with the 6.5" foot bed. 5.0 V-8 with the 3.55 limited slip. My #2 trip meter has never been reset in the 26,500 miles I've driven the truck since I got it last December, right after Christmas. Currently the avg fuel economy over that time is 18.9. Run 70-75 mph and the truck will return more than 20mpg on the cheapest gas you pump into it. Hauling 1000lbs. Running the air.

11.8 l/100km @ 100km/hr. All highway driving. 1700km on truck so far. My 6.7 diesel average 16.2l/100km. Nice to be in a smaller truck that handles great. This mileage was taken the last 3 weeks -15c temp. The sticker said 10.9 l/100km. I think this is attainable.

No worries bro!

I made a 400 mile round trip yesterday to visit my daughter in Staunton, Va where her college is. It's nice climb after Richmond, Va for the next 100 miles or so. Normally in the spring / fall I can manage a 21-22 MPG round trip. Yesterday I was pushing a little harder than usual as we made it a day trip and I averaged about 19 on winter blend. I was cruising 70-80 when possible.

Very jealous, Tim! My truck won't do that.

I've thought about getting a set of regular mirrors to have on the truck for the ~95% of the time I'm not towing. Probably not worth the effort.
