I’m in the market for a new vehicle and I’ve been pretty impressed with the 2.7 liter EcoBoost engines I’ve seen. However, I really want to know what the real-world mpg is like before making a decision.

Questions I have:

  • What are people actually seeing for fuel economy in everyday driving?
  • How does the mpg compare with other similar engines?
  • Any reviews or experiences would be super helpful!

I’ve looked at some official specs, but I’m more interested in real feedback! This will really help me weigh the cost of ownership since I do a decent amount of driving. Please share any info you have!

I’ve had my 2.7 EcoBoost for a year now, and I’ve been averaging around 24 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. On the highway, I can get up to 28 mpg if I keep my speed around 65 mph.

That’s impressive! I’ve found that driving habits really make a difference. If I drive aggressively, I see my MPG drop significantly to around 20 in the city.

4

My experience aligns with both of you! I’ve clocked around 26 mpg on the highway with my daily commute but struggle in the city, averaging just 21. It’s all in how you manage the throttle!

I noticed that tire maintenance has significantly improved my mileage. Keeping them inflated properly does wonders! Anyone else notice this?

Absolutely! I’ve been keeping up with regular maintenance, and I’ve averaged 25 mpg overall. It’s a little thing that makes a big difference!

I’ve read that using premium gas can improve performance and efficiency, but is it really worth it? I currently just use regular.

In my experience, I don’t feel it’s worth the extra cost. I stick with regular, and my MPG holds steady around 24. Just ensure your engine is well-maintained!

I’m pretty laid-back on the road, but I still only see about 22 mpg in the city. Maybe I just live in an area with too many stoplights?

10

I feel your pain! I’m somewhere in the same boat, especially during rush hour. It really drags the mpg down!

11

That reflects my mileage too, around 22 in the city. But out on the highway, I can reach as high as 29 mpg if conditions are perfect!

12

This engine’s performance is definitely all about conditions. Do you guys think the weather affects MPG as much as driving style?

13

Good point! I’ve noticed a dip in mpg during extreme temperatures, especially snow. It’s definitely something to consider!

14

You know, speaking of weather, I always joke that my truck stops at every light when it’s raining. It’s like it knows! But seriously, it’s essential to monitor conditions.

15

The 2.7 liter EcoBoost can actually deliver around 20-24 mpg in the city and 24-28 mpg on the highway, depending on driving conditions. Regular maintenance and proper tire inflation really help!

16

I’ve also noticed that driving with a lighter foot can improve my mileage significantly! Anyone else experienced this?

17

I’ve heard that using premium gas can enhance performance and possibly fuel efficiency too. Has anyone tried this with the 2.7 EcoBoost?

18

I’ve always used regular fuel and still get decent mileage. I’m curious how noticeable the difference would be!

19

Absolutely! I also clean out my air filter and change the oil regularly, which seems to keep everything running smoothly.

Maintaining your tires is crucial! I usually rotate and check the pressure monthly—my mileage has improved significantly since I started this routine.
