IraF Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The day was pleasant so I didn't need the AC or even the blower on so climate was turned off and went to a festival which was about 23 miles away via I75 @ 65-70mph and about 2 miles miles thru town to get to the Festival of the Horse. and then the trip was reversed when we were done with the Festival.

It sure is nice to take a long trip like that and only use 1 gallon of gas. When I am on a highway cruise, I will sometimes just make sure that I am 'in the blue' with regards to using the electric motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1steven Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Presently my 2016 lincoln mkz is my 2nd lincoln hybrid I've owned new. This is only vehicle I own, so wife and I put alot of miles on it. Present mileage at 96,458 miles, my average MPG is 42.4! Hoping to reach 42.5 MPG by 100k, well over lincolns suggested MPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyinla Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Bought my 2016 used with 25k on it. I zero'd out both trip meters. After 7,184 miles I've averaged 39.7 mpg using my spread sheet. I have logged all the gas receipts (yeah, I'm obsessed ^o^ ). Trip meter 2 shows 41 mpg average. EPA quote is 41 / 39 city / highway. It's not driven a lot but it's in the big city. It can take up 90 minutes or 45 to cover 37 miles, depending on the traffic. The car excels in stop and go,,, from a mpg point of view, for the weight. Not so much at getting to that 70mph (yawn.. check the calendar :) ). At 70 mph I want my 300 hp EcoBoost Mustang back. It made 30 mpg on those trips. I tracked the EV miles and the mpg without them. Without the EV miles my ICE mileage was anywhere from 17mpg to a max of 26, once. Usually maxing at 19mpg. Overall it's a nice car. It's engine is obtrusively noisy to me when accelerating... which gives better mileage because I get off the gas sooner. It's not the quiet machine that I had hopped for. Most of the road noise is probably due to the design of the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
