Eco , normal , sports mode

[Lando]

I am close to stated fuel mileage but not quite there yet. Non hybrid OF 6’ box. I get 18.5 mpg in city driving (12.71 L per 100km).
Would be nice to get 20mpg in city, I have 5600 km on truck or 3500 miles.

I get about 12 L/100KM in the city (19.6 MPG) and 10 (23.5 MPG) on the highway. Doesn’t matter what I do. I’ve played around with all of the modes.

I find normal is the best on the highway. Sport is the most fun in the city in the summer and ECO with 4HI the best setup in the snow and ice.

I get 19.1 mpg in normal mode. My vin is not in the transmission group. Doesn't seem like that should have any effect on MPG.

I agree and it is strange for there to be a link between transmission issues and mpg, but multiple people with failed transmissions have reported lower than normal mileage.

One thought is that one of the TSB solenoid codes is for the torque converter lockup. If it does not always lock the torque converter on the highway, your mileage would suffer. That also might explain why I usually get better mileage in city and country road driving, than on the highway.

FYI I use actual fuel used and km to calculate my fuel mileage. When on empty I still have like 50km in tank.

I don't' do the calculations myself and that could be part of the problem. I just go by what the truck reports and assume that it is pretty accurate.
