I have 26000 miles on my 19 Limited Max 2wd. My lifetime average is 18.5.

Exactly like mine. It has 6,000 miles since the average was reset and it currently says 19.0 MPG average. It gets a bunch of idle time, so that doesn't help it any either.

What app is that? I still use a paper log book from office depot.
This is the one I used for the screen shot. It does maintenance on intervals you can set up and also record repairs as well as multiple vehicles. I have my small gas engine maintenance schedules in there as well as several cars... very handy.

12k on my '18 Max XLT. Mostly city driving with occasional 80 mph jaunts on the highway. My average is 18.8 (but I drive like an old geezer).

Remember this adage: It's Eco or Boost, can't have both.

‘19 Max Platinum with tow package. Took a trip from MI to Tennessee and back recently. Computer said 21ish MPG, but when I calculated it I came out to 19ish. 75 or so, 4 people, and 2 suitcases so not a heavy load. Average is sitting right at 17 before that trip; which raised my average a little. I generally do 45-55 MPH travel in a suburban/rural area with a highway trip or two thrown in per week. I work from my home office so not daily commuting.

When I drive ours (2018 4x4 Max LTD) around our house/work I get around 17. When my wife drives, she gets around 14-15. It seems to make a huge difference if you stay off of the turbos, but the gas pedal is 2 position for my wife...
I thought gas pedals only had 2 positions! LOL!

2018 Limited, coming from a 2003 5.4. Towing and aggressive driving delivers similar mileage. 3.5 eco has better acceleration and tows easier. It is way more “fun” to drive. The big difference is with conservative driving we can get some great economy. Keep your foot out of it and don’t speed on the highway and the Eco boost will get more than 10% better mileage than the 5.4. 21-22 hgwy routine. We reset trip 1 at every fill to monitor mileage. Displayed mileage averages 5% over actual.

I have about 12K miles on my 19’ Max Platinum w/ tow package. In the city I’ll get about 15 and on the highway 18 mpg. Full disclosure I have a heavy foot, much more boost than eco :driver:

This is all with 93 octane, if I use regular gas, oh Lord does my MPG drop. Maybe 10.5 city 14 hwy.
