99.9L/100km is equivalent to 0mpg. It's because your engine is running and you're not moving. So you're effectively using infinite fuel over a distance.Less than 600 km...not much of a real world readout but that's what it is so far. Anyone know why the current mpg/ L/100 km is reading 99.9? Truck was parked.
Slow down to 65 and your mileage will increase. You are driving a brick. When you take it to 75, it will act like a brick.2021 XLT FX2, and with canopy on the back. Stock tires/etc.
At 1000 miles.
Driving ~75 mph, I cannot get above 20 mpg.
This is quite disappointing; hopefully this will change. In other vehicles i have good mileage, so I don't think it's my driving style.
I read of others with low mileage, and they are getting >25 mpg, so I think there's something fundamentally wrong with this vehicle.
Has anyone taken their vehicle to a dealer due to mileage that is lower than advertised? Even if doing all city driving, it should be 21 mpg; with mixed, it should be 23.
Hang in there JB, it does get better with age. Although, off the cuff, I'd think with a topper it would be slightly better but that adds weight too, so that balanced that out.2021 XLT FX2, and with canopy on the back. Stock tires/etc.

Shoot, that's low. I'm surprised that it's lower than the city-only mpg, though. Doesn't city mileage include stop and go?I just returned from a 7 day trip to Dallas and was very dissappointed to average 17.4 MPG. I drove normally and set the CC on 65 mph where it was possible. The only thing I can account for this low figure was encountering 2 Freeway road closures on the way home. Both totaled about an hour of slow creeping traffic with a lot of stop and go?
The mileage on the Ranger at the end of the trip was 5979. The truck performed perfectly with no issues. It had a solid feel and great control both in the city and on the Freeways.

Shouldn't that number be the minimum we ever see in these vehicles under normal, non-loaded, level driving conditions?
