I don't think I ever posted this here. We recently took a trip with our camper and the 2025 F150 Powerboost to South Dakota and back. I logged every fillup the entire time. There are also some notes to go with it. I did have a column for what I filled up with, but I deleted it and forgot I did.
I used the highest octane I could get at the pump, which throughout the midwest, is really a crap shoot. Lots of 91 instead of 93, but also lots of E0 instead of E10. I do recall one of the fillups being an E15, but I don't recall which one. A lot of the middle of the trip was 91 E0.
Things that come as no surprise.
Headwinds murder economy. Also 100+ degree temps, a 30 mph headwind, 65 on the interstate, and an 8 foot wide travel trailer is a sure bet to make your credit card go up in smoke buying fuel.
Highway speeds, murder economy.
The hybrid doesn't help with towing. No brainer, maybe with a bigger pack it would, but for interstate work, it is mostly all up to the 3.5 and its turbos.
Slight surprise.
Locking out 9/10 is the sweet spot for the truck. While the truck has plenty of grunt to loaf along in 10th and will happily do so, keeping it in 8th pays off in better economy. This was never a problem in the Ranger since it would rarely pull 9th and almost never pull 10th, so it was already 'locking' those gears out.
For most of the interstate driving we're at 70mph. That's just where I prefer to drive. Any slower and you're a rolling roadblock, its not that I care what other people think, I just feel safer not being passed by people going 20mph faster than me.
Note: The colors are nothing more than serving to separate the days of the trip. I quit using them partway through and wasn't bothered to update it.
"Ford MPG" is what the dash displays.
Of oil related note. The oil was changed on the truck right before we left (1000 miles on the ODO) and was changed when we got back. OLM read 33% the day after we got home.

Filled up the 2018 CRV 1.5l today. Last fill up was exactly 1 month ago. Drove 258.6 miles in that month and used 11.731 gals for an average of 22.0 mpg. There was one trip to the big city on this tank (~100 highway miles round trip). The rest of it was 1-2 mile commutes to work or the grocery store.
Sienna: 33 MPG on weekend road trip of 600 miles. Lots of wind otherwise probably could have done better.
Mix of QT 87 and random grocery store 87 that was on sale. Figured I was gonna burn through the cheapo gas pretty quick anyway so why not.

Malibu: 34.6 MPG “lifetime” average. Accidentally reset it early on but close enough.
2025 F150 4WD Hybrid
Actual math works out to 23.66 mpg. Made up of nothing but my trips to and from work for 7 days.
Not bad for a porker of a full size truck. The Ranger did about the same give or take.

Can we be a bit more specific on vehicles? Not just you, but several people on this forum. It's just lazy not to say "Mercedes" IMO. I had to google "c43" to have a clue about what you were talking about. Same with you "eff jay" folks.
2008 Infiniti EX35. My favorite zippy gas guzzler. Not fast, but brisk enough to be fun.
Highway is steady 23MPG.
Average is 20MPG on my 70-mile roundtrip work commute.
Wonder how many MPG it will lose after I give it a 2" lift... (because softroader rally safari shiggles)
