Bought new EB Lariat in December: my experience is 12.4 ave mpg in town over the course of a full tank (not the instant readings on the dash, although it is reasonably accurate) and 16.8 is the best average for a full tank, 100% interstate at 72/75 mph. average for 10,000 miles plus is 14.7 mpg of which 2/3's was interstate... needless to say, disappointing.
i now have 15,000 miles on the vehicle, love driving it, only complaint is the gas mileage. as others have posted, i have taken it to the dealer for service, they have kept it for a week and done driving tests and such on it to say that according to there computers there is nothing wrong. The dealer escalated it to Ford and Ford's reply was that it is within the tolerance of driving conditions, offered no solutions and left it up to the dealer to work it out with me.
there seems to be more experiences like mine on the posts so i don't think poor mpg's from an ecoboost is an isolated incident. At the same time many are getting great gas mileage. it seems, especially given how great the truck drives, that it must be a simple, fixable problem with airflow, tuning or something... has anyone with this issue been able to find a solution?
