ecoboost mpgs
Got my 2014 Ford F 150 4x4 with ecoboost to 30 mpg at 55 mph yesterday. Seen 34 mpg at 50mph. Not bad for a truck.

Let us know when you get 30-34 for a tank or a 90 day average.

Barely perceptible decelerating over a short distance on a downslope with a tailwind doesn't count. The fuel log gives the most complete picture. A log with entries, that is.

Next time you achieve "34" do a 180 and achieve it again.

I have to agree with FrankLee.
I can get my civic to read 120mpg at 50 for a couple miles on what appears to be level highway ground.
Going the other direction on the same stretch I can barely get 50.

I agree with Frank Lee and firehawk618. The mpg really has to be over a couple hundred miles. I can get over 50 mpg in my Ranger at certain speeds over short stretches. But I'm averaging about 31 mpg overall since I bought it five years ago.
21 mpg highway? That is why I bought a new Ranger before they discontinued them. I knew this ecoboost stuff was going to be a joke and I could never get decent mpg with an F150.
Still, over 30 mpg for a short stretch is a good start. Now practice and see if you can achieve that over a tank of fuel.
