Lionclaw Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 2I have the Titanium 2.0 FWD. I live in the hills in the San Francisco Bay area. Probably 1/4-1/3 of my miles are in the hills (both up and down). I mostly do short trips. Mileage has sucked since I got it--about 15 to 16 mpg. The dealer and Ford says that the first 2000 miles the car is adjusting and that everything resets after that and mileage should go up. Do I believe them? Not really but am at 1100 miles right now. Will see what happens in another 900 or so. Eeek! How fast do you normally drive? Is there a lot of stop and go traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie411 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 So I just hit 1k miles on my 2.0 AWD and the gas mileage is pathetic still. I'm averaging about 21-23 (this is combined) I filled up my tank Sat afternoon and by the time I got to work today I was at half a tank.

I would be thrilled with that mileage! 2000 miles on my 2.0 awd. Still 14-15 city, 25 hiway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digijay Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm trying to convert my mileage from L/100kms to MPG, but I always see two options, US and Imperial. Which do you guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digijay Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My average is about 19/20 MPG, Combined. When I did my recent road trip, the highest I achieved was 29MPG, that's on a flat highway going about 70m/h Overall, I'm not too happy with the mileage.

Escape'13 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Instantaneous MPG is virtually worthless. It is mildly entertaining at highway speeds with the cruise set and you can watch how grade changes affect your MPG. In town the numbers swing so wildly depending if you are on the throttle or coasting, that it is pointless information, to say nothing about it being another distraction when you should be looking out of the windshield. If you go long periods without resetting your trip odometer, getting the average to change is hard to do. MPG seems to be something a lot people focus on the older they get, along with gas prices (I'm thinking of my dad and older brother). I fill it up when it needs gas...what am I gonna do, walk? I know there are cars (mostly little $h!t boxes) that are gonna get better fuel economy than what I drive, but why do I want to be reminded of it all the time by staring at the average MPG display? Hey Pillboy. Just curious, what information do you typically have displayed if not average mpg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt in blue Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 i have the FWD 2.0. I've been getting about 33 on the highway and about 23 in the city. I've been running about 25 combined for most tanks. Driving is about 80% city 20% highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PajamaGuy Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I would be thrilled with that mileage! 2000 miles on my 2.0 awd. Still 14-15 city, 25 hiway Ditto on that! My last 100 city miles was 14.8. First 907 miles of combined is 18.7. 2.0 4WD, fairly tame for 80% of the city driving, but nobody beats me off the line On the 4-lane's, I average 75-80. I'm going to run about 400 miles this coming weekend up to Vt and back - we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimna01 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 2013 SE 2.0 L AWD with tow pkg.. 21 MPG all city most trips less than 10 miles. A lot of stop and go. Not unhappy with that all. 29 MPG at 60 to 65 MPG highway. I miss the instant MPG that my Caddy CTS had. On that car I could get 26 to 27 MPG at 64 MPH . Go 69 MPH and that would drop to 24 MPG. At 75 MPH that dropped to 20 MPG. Every car has a threshold controlled by aerodynamics and engine when there is a cliff in MPG. The caddy was 18 to 19 around town. 3.5 l V6 265 HP. The instant MPH can really help you understand what happens with speed, load and temp. The average doesn't help as much here unless you only drive in one style.

Tazzel Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Since the recall on the 1.6L engines I have been riding a 2013 Edge loaner for about 20 days its funny but I am getting the same gas mileage as I do in my escape Which is about 21 to 22 mpg in the City.
