My current calculation is at 10k miles since last reset and I'm at 18.7. Typical week is 70 miles mostly interstate commute with 8 miles of two lane that is driven pretty hard.

I did a trip to the mountains that was about a 3 hour drive with a 2500ft elevation change (roughly) and got 26. On the trip home I got 27.8. It's gradually come down from that 27.8 to 18.7 over the next 10k miles.

Right, I understand that. I was asking does it typically come out to a higher or lower number than what Ford's system shows.
Every car is different. My computer is 1.5-2mpg lower than it actually is.

I think the computer is optimistic by about 1.6 MPG. When I compare my odometer distance versus gallons required to hit full tank, the calculation comes out 1.6 MPG less than what the center display shows. For me at least. Pretty sure you can adjust it in Engineering Mode.

Yep i had calculated mine to be 1mpg too much. I have not tried adjusting it through enginnering mode but im not too worried as I also get 99 smiles per gallon! :D

Man, for a while I thought I was doing pretty poorly.

Right now I'm averaging 21MPG on my '15 GT PP with no engine modifications (only wheels and tires). That's not too bad.

Bought mine used. Trip 2 was at 15 mpg. Previous owner had a heavy foot. I reset it and now, 2 months later, it is at 21.5. 48 mile round trip to work. Would say 50% city 50% hwy due to the traffic in the afternoon.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a conference that was 10 miles further one way than my usual commute, but 70 mph most of the way to and from. Hit 24.5 mpg that week. Probably could have been a little higher if I wasn't always having to pass slow people on the two lane country road. Yes, the speed limit is 70 on that road.

Those #s should increase by a few MPGS especially on the highway in autos with the new 10-speed transmission.

31mpg highway in a PP car? I want hand calculated proof of that, the instrument cluster isn't always 100% accurate.

I've never had over 25mpg highway in mine and that's what I've seen most people get around here.

I've got the 3.73 gears and the MT82 with a PMAS and lund93 tune.

I've been getting around 16-17 average. About low 20s if highway and about 10 if city.
With the tune I've been doing about 1 less than before. I got my tune about 13k miles in.

I came from a 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid doing 40mpg easy to this. At first it was hard but now it's like whatever, 10mpg psh lets go.

see, I came from an '08 F250 that gets about 13 mpg mixed.

I saw 20 mpg regularly in my PP and thought, "Heck yeah! This thing pays for itself!"
