Technically, I'm at 48 mpg on the first tank (370 miles, 300 to go), but that's a shared mpg with my wife. I use it most of the week as a commuter vehicle and am able to complete most of my trips on ~3/4 battery power. She uses it twice a week for longer hauls and isn't at all versed in hypermiling techniques, so she brings down the average a bit. But even she was hitting mid-50's until a week of heavy rains knocked our joint average down into the high 40's. I And that brake coach sure does rile her when she gets less than 100%! Staying below 50 mph and having ebb-and-flow traffic is probably the key to high mpg. Pulse-and-glide is what puts it in the 60's (with peaks in the 90's) for me. I should also add, the truck came from the factory with the tires inflated to 40 psi with N2. This was curious, given that the Ford spec is 35 psi.
