And yet you never said you did. Are those numbers you provided hand calc’d or dash display? I’m not sure how that would be so out of line with the 100 million miles worth of real data I posted, showing what zillions of real people have gotten using real numbers.
Regardless, I drove one from Hickory, NC to Temagami, Ontario, Canada and back and averaged 14.5mpg with a kayak on top. So about 2000 miles, but skewed data. My father in law had one for a few years and he could pull about 20-21mpg out of a 3.5 Ecoboost driving like an absolute grandpa which is what he does all the time. The few trips I drove it on, we hung out around 16-17mpg. I don’t doubt someone could milk a 24mpg tank out of one, but certainly not on average, and definitely not a reasonable case to do vehicular justification math on.
