3100 miles over 2 months

My mpg has risen over 3 mpg since the first month. Per fuelly calculations I was averaging 18 mpg at fill up time at first and about 22 mpg on mostly highway to work drive. That been steadily climbing since the first month. I’ve been averaging 20 mpg over the last month, even getting 21 mpg on my last fill up. So I decided to check what I was getting on my way to work this morning and hit 27 mpg.... it’s definitely on the rise hasn’t seemed to have topped out yet. I’m really excited to see this and thought everyone else would be too.

Mine is still improving. I do manual calculations and they have been steadily within .5 mpg of what the truck shows.

5100 miles into Ranger and Chill and we currently get 22.7-ish on each fullup when hand calculating. I don't baby it too much, and have plenty of stop and go. I will say my stop and go has decreased over the last month so I can attribute that to some of the good MPG. Crew cab XLT FX4.

Winter conditions and winter grade gasoline are a part of it as well as some minor break-in.
Summer blend RBOB is better . One more reason to buy from first tier and high volume stations where the change over is faster.
A/C will likely steal back some of your gains as the summer comes.
Sounds like you got a good healthy truck!

I'm just over 1000 miles and mine has been going up as well. Party because I'm learning how to drive it to get better milage. I'm not babying it just being conscience of how to minimize using the turbo.

I also use the adaptive cruise a lot

What kind of speed are you getting those numbers at? Best I’ve got is 23ish doing 70mph.

Normally around 60-62 mph. County paved roads. I do drive the Interstate (70 mph) to work occasionally on Friday's and small errands, but the majority of my driving using the Ranger is to/from the Gulf every weekend to kayak fish. I think the key to my good gas mileage is that I don't encounter a lot of sustained hills. Florida is fairly flat...lol! It's about a 160 mile round trip on average.

I have 2400 miles on the truck already and have been averaging 25.5 in mixed highway and traffic. I regularly do 70mpg on the highway to work and bumper to bumper traffic on the way home.

I'm very happy with my crew cab FX4. Mileage calculated with my fillup app has been between 18.8 and 26.2. The numbers for the past week were from our vacation from KC Mo to Durango, Co then to Estes Park, Co and back to KC Mo. Interstate driving was with cruise set at 75. The numbers before May 4th were my wife driving mostly 8 miles per day round trip to work. Very little highway driving on other trips.

The on board computer usually showed .5 to 1.5mpg better than what my app calculated. 2 tanks the app actually showed better than the computer.

Coming back from a visit to my brothers traveling through Northern South Carolina on back roads through small towns and two-lane roads I got 29MPG. The reason I think is because most back roads are long flat stretches of 45-55 MPH,

Speeds varied from 35MPH to 70MPH (for about 25 miles) Needless to say I'm impressed. I get 22MPG around town without much effort
