Thank you. Yes, my truck will run at interstate speed almost all the time. Based on the miles and having the truck for 17 months now, we can assume an excess of 1000 miles per week of interstate.
My idle average was 30% for a while. Glad to see it going down. When we first get these trucks I maintained the idea that an awful lot of fuel and idle is used while we figure out the nav, info screens, and setting up all of the stuff. I found it annoying to the extent that I think ford should start to incorporate more into the block heater system.
Would it not be nice to have a shore power line where batts would charge, accessories would be powered, and HVAC would work, like an RV?

Amen to having shore power like a RV or boat.
64500 miles
1222 hours
141 idle
At 8.7% idle, I'm still trying to figure out if that is accurate. I was running at about 12% and I don't sit for long periods.
Oops, bad math. 11.54%. No wonder they told me not to be a math major in school....
