    I remember getting around 11 MPG on my 2011 SCREW. Any thoughts on how the new engine may fare with gas mileage?

    With the new engine and 10 speed tranny, who knows. You might see a bump up by a couple MPG but I highly doubt itll be anything spectacular. Government tests do not reflect real world driving so whatever they put out is just ballpark.

    As @ZaneMasterX mentioned, it'll be a slight bump, but don't expect anything spectacular. I recall a thread on the F150 forum where a guy examined the 8-speed vs. 10-speed and the final gearing was damn near the same. So we'll see how this pans out.

    i know in my 13 ecoboost, i was getting around 12 mpg, i get 11.1 with the 6.2...neither budged over time. i was pretty stock for the majority of my time with that truck, even tried economy tunes and nothing. my driving i guess would be considered normal, not really a heavy foot but not a grandma either. healthy mix of city & highway driving as well. i'm willing to bet the mpg bump won't be much if at all. though it would be nice to see a jump from what we normally see.

    STOLEN FROM THE F150FORUM.........................


    What you will notice is the extra 4 gears provide good splits where the current 6 speed has larger jumps. Also notable is the very deep 1st gear. (Ratios are preliminary and were found online)

    This got me thinking what will this do for final drive ratio. So I setup a sheet for that and compared. With the wide range ratio of the 10 speed it does worlds for allowing selection of a taller rear gear.

    Here is the comparison to GM's 8L90 transmission.

    I'm definitely not scared of the MPG - shit my other car is a '67 fastback with a Coyote motor (5L v8).

    I wonder if that shorter first gear will improve torgue/pulling...

    I get good mpg with e-30 and wondering if it will be flex although you don't need a flex to use e-30 I use it in everything with a gas engine 96 Octane, If you have a carbureated engine you have to open the carb a bit.

    I'm going to guess that the average owner will get 13-14MPG. I am basing this off the 10-11MPG that I get now. While 3MPG doesn't seem like much, think of it as a percentage. When you do, it's huge.

    An extra 3MPG for a car that goes from 27 to 30MPG is pretty good. It's roughly an 11% increase. Going from 10 to 13MPG is a 30% increase. That's huge.

    Agreed the percentage increase would be big.

    I get these savings with .10 cent cheaper e-30 you guy's should be asking for it at your favorite filler up stations.

    I think that the mileage is going to go up maybe 8-10%. My 13 Ecoboost wasn't much better than my 12 5.0. I know this is a new platform but the tires and drag these trucks naturally have will reduce the gains. If I added any weight to the 13 it would kill the mpg. And a heavy foot won't help either.

    I'm not being a negative nanny here just predicting realistically.

    All good, I'd get it if it got 8MPG.
