Just got back and I did 28 mpg until the highway closed for 30 minutes for a funeral. So by the time we got home 26 mpg which isn’t bad at all! When I was going 75 mph I was under 2k rpm and hubbys truck was 2500. I’m thinking that 10 speed transmission makes a difference!

I filled up at Maverick in the White Mountains, and while driving on the 260 about an hour into it, I started checking the fuel, since there was a heavy police presence, I had to watch my lead foot. I used the cruise control for a short time...I went up to 95 mpg to pass but kept her about 5 miles over the posted limit (except to pass).
I’m so impressed with her gas mileage... that’s why my hubby and I were comparing his F150 against the Expedition. He too was impressed! . We attributed it to the 10 speed transmission too. My Explorer Sport never had gas mileage that good! But then again I did have a lead foot about 95% of the time driving it... so does the new owner too....lol

What year F-150 does he have? My Expedition is around 2,000 rpm even at 75 MPH..... also just because your computer says it’s doing 28 MPG doesn’t mean it’s doing it lol

He drove the 2015 but we have a 2018 too.
He did the math too - because our mileage was that high.
Since getting home I made the mistake of taking it to a car wash and it was hit by an old goat. . Just called his insurance company...sigh. Good news is body shop thought it was under $500, if they get the parts in. Order tow package is all I can say! Lucky for me it was trim piece.

You can get very high on a long highway run, i generally leave mine in 4X4 auto and that leaves the front hubs engaged so I don’t see north of 17-18 MPG highway.... some guys with the 5.4 in my year have posted they get up to 21.1 MPG on a good run.. I don’t really care about my MPG lol, I’ll take a truck that gets 11 if it’s got a nice motor. None the less very impressive numbers you got. I’m surprised at how high the Rpms were on the 150.

I agree about the F150, I’m going to take it in due to a towing error message that it throws. Saying trailer connected and disconnected as we are towing down the road....

All I can say is that guys lucky I called my hubby...
For his safety. My crazy side was about to come out...lol. So, I’ll keep you posted, but we added a tow hitch for the time being....so if someone else tries to hit me, it will take out their car.

Seriously? That sucks! I still have my temp tags on my car. I received my plate so I can put it on, especially now that it’s broken in. Ugh, makes me so mad. But as you pointed out it could be worse....
The computer is probably wrong bc the government lists the highway mpgs at 24. I would never trust the reading on there plus you’re the only person that has listed getting better than low 20s. Recheck your math
I sae that, it was a wht plat max too. His family was well protected though. I wouldnt be surprised if she was getting in the mid 20s, the ecoboost in good situations have been shown to get pretty good mpg in the f150. The computer mainly calculates avg mpg, theres too many factors to calculate 100% accurate mpgs
