My OBDII reader also saying 14-16. Haven’t hand calculated yet. I can’t really figure out what Eco does in this truck. Nonsensical. Also adaptive cruise as much as possible for convenience.View attachment 23263View attachment 23264View attachment 23265
Mixed driving, with my 7.3 2021

I don't drive like a old man I did test eco mode and I got crap milage. One thing to mention I use active cruse alot! Even when city driving.
I'll hook up my scanner and data log the thing.My OBDII reader also saying 14-16. Haven’t hand calculated yet. I can’t really figure out what Eco does in this truck. Nonsensical. Also adaptive cruise as much as possible for convenience.
I believe ECO essentially scales back and softens pedal input. There also seems to be a slight impact on shift points,My OBDII reader also saying 14-16. Haven’t hand calculated yet.

Very good advice that I've been practicing for years and not many believe my mileage figures.Drive it like you stole it. 85% city with stop lights every block kill your mpg. I’m at 13.6 overall average with 17k miles. Back country roads and highway I’m low 14’s city I’m low 12 or lower. Stops kill mileage. Gas until brakes kill mileage. Soft throttle in(except for full acceleration couple times a week) and coasting before the light saves gas.
The environment and pedal usage are the two biggest killers of gas.
Reset your screen! Mine said 9+ untill I reset my trip screen then it said 13I just hit 500 miles and I’ve never once allowed the truck to rev over 3000rpm. So far I’m 85% city driving and I’m averaging 9.2mpg!!! I can’t imagine how some folks are getting 13mpg’s combined.
For the love of God, please tell me what I’m doing wrong or what your secret is. Once I hit 1000miles on my engine I’ll drive it like I stole it and I’m terrified of what my mileage will be at that point. ??
7.3 with 4.30’s and stock height, wheels and tires.
Haven’t done anything to stock truck and I have been pulling trailers, and city driving only averaging 14.3 mpg. 6500 miles on truck.I just hit 500 miles and I’ve never once allowed the truck to rev over 3000rpm. So far I’m 85% city driving and I’m averaging 9.2mpg!!! I can’t imagine how some folks are getting 13mpg’s combined.

Got about 5k miles and haven’t towed yet, 80% city and 20% highway averaging 11.2 mpg. Even driving light footed can’t break the average.I just hit 500 miles and I’ve never once allowed the truck to rev over 3000rpm. So far I’m 85% city driving and I’m averaging 9.2mpg!!!

First off it’s not 10k! Everybody seems to think that. However it’s more like 7k I believe after you pay the up-charge for the 7.3 ? I’m sure more than 1/2 this websites has already spent that on accessories if not more! ? When we are purchasing vehicles at this price point and so much technology involved, what’s another 2k or less on a 150,00 mile warranty. Shit “just for piece of mind”! An if you don’t keep your vehicles for 100k miles or more, you are sure to make up the difference in resale. Food for thought.I look at it this way, $10,000 can buy an awful lot of extra gasoline. And at 100,000 miles I'm not shelling out thousands more in egr related repairs or hpop related repairs.
