normcloutier Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 A while back I was reading a post about an owner who reported better fuel economy at the 5k mark. Discussions included perhaps the computer running the engine rich during break in, etc. I am glad to report that after my first fill up after the 5k mark, my DTE has gone from an avaerage of 450km to 530km. Not sure what the exact reason is but I'll take it with a smile. Just hope there is another FORD "gift" at the 10k mark lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARR142 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Since 15000 have notice a improvement, now it takes two weeks of regular driving to fill up. :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 My mileage is also starting to climb. I am at 18.1 now versus 17.8 a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theakerr Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I dont think it is just 2013s. My 2010 is now giving 24 mpg (US) on the highway at 20,000 miles up from 23 or less. Also general mileage has gone up from 21 mpg to 22 mpg. Not a lot you may say, but a definite and repeatable improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgieguy Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 After about 15k my AWD Sports fuel economy continues to steadily creep up. In mixed city highway driving I'm regularly seeing mid 21s. I'm using synthetic oil, and a drop in K&N filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
