I'm looking for some input about "real life" everyday fuel economy from Ecoboost owners with the 3.73 rear end. 4x2 or 4x4 doesn't matter, but I'm not interested in mileage figures while hauling full loads or towing boats, etc., just around town figures please. Thanks in advance!

 

Well, my truck has been a "problem child" since day one, but as far as MPGs go, I get 14-15 in town, and low 16s on the highway IF I keep it under 70mph. Anything above 70 drops it into the 13-14 range on the highway.

 

11' FX4 SuperCrew with 3.73 rear end...."around town" I'm getting 18.5 - 19 MPG

 

In town 10-11. Hwy 14. Not good. 3300 elevation.

 

short trips around town 14-15. Longer trips around town 16-17
hwy 60mph= 19-20
hwy 70= 17-18

just a run to the convience store, 3 miles total= 13 mpg

 

Been getting 14.3 L/100KM

 

15-18 city and town depending on if its DC or a suburb and if i drive it like i stole it 19 20 hwy should get better when i hit 5k miles on the odometer

i found you get better mileage with premium gas than regular, about 2mpg

 

16.5 average. 4 miles town and 30 miles interstate 70mph to work and back

 

My numbers are identical to yours!! Compared to my 2007 F150 w/ 5.4L with less towing power i am not complaining!

 

so i take it when you first get your eco boost the mileage is kinda not good and gets better after a few miles. What should i be really for??

I will be getting my eco boost with 3.73 in January hope fully sooner!! so i will be getting the "winter" blend of fuel. so that doesnt help the mpg's and i guess some summer with a few miles on it and summer blend I hope to be good to go!!

 

I think it all depends on how heavy your foot is also.

 

Wow - under these conditions I get the same gas mileage with my 2003 4x4 Expedition with the old 2-valve Triton 5.4L with 3.73 gears and 120K on the clock. Kinda disappointing...

 

I am getting the same as most every one so far, 15-16 around town, 20-21 on a trip at 55-60 mph.

 

I'm not kind to my poor truck. Lots of short trips, city driving. Any vehicle I've had has no liked that MPG-wise.
I am currently getting 14.5 under those conditions and I'm really quite happy with that.

Any chance to get on a highway and it jumps back up.

 

Sure beats the 13mpg that my 92 F150 with the 351 got.
