Fuel Mileage for 2013's


Edgieguy

Recommended Posts

On Ford's main webpage for the 2013 Sport I keep seeing their Mileage estimates of 19/26 (footnote 2) Ive searched for any information on what that might be and cant find any explanation. When I was at the dealer the other day I looked at a Sport window sticker and it listed the same 16/23 I have listed on my window sticker (I couldn't find a Front Wheel Drive) but I believe that those were 16/24mpg. Is there something new on the 2013's? Direct injection?

Ford website, when choosing what model to build shows 18/26 for the Sport model and they normally display the FWD versions as they get better gas mileage. What they normally disclose is "up to 18/26" which are the FWD versions.

 

Most Sports are AWD and I believe you have an AWD version which may be the reason for the decreased mileage on your window sticker.

 

The disclosures on the Ford site state the following:

For Manufacturer Specific Disclosures See Below
1 Starting MSRP, A, Z and X Plan price is for qualified, eligible A, Z, or X Plan customers and excludes document fee, destination/delivery charge, taxes, title and registration. Optional equipment not included. Not all vehicles qualify for A, Z or X Plan.
2 MPG - EPA estimated base engine/transmission.

 

Hope that helps!

Hey guys...

 

Just an FYI, the MPG that Ford provides is base on their own test facilities. 60 deg weather, even pavements, and at 55mph. they also comebine the mpg of the 3.5 and 3.7 and do their math and come out that number.

 

now, normal driveing for us is different than how they test it. just like lowery said, his at 70/77 mph at cruise..

 

thats one of my questions too to our trainer here at dealership everytime there are new vehicle that ford comes with he comes in and show us around. just like when they introduce the new edge on 2011.

 

whent to raleigh NC this.morning and driving a 13 sports and im doing about 65mph its about a 2 hrs drive one way and i average about 27mpg highway.

I am probably going to be the only one making fuel consumption stats in a country, where 1 liter costs $ 0.16, but I do it anyways ;)

 

3.7 AWD:

 

12/16/2013 4 169 12.72 -> 22 MPG

12/15/2013 3 687 15.61 -> 18 MPG

12/12/2013 3 324 12.56 -> 22 MPG

12/11/2013 2 841 11.9 -> 24 MPG

12/9/2013 2 337 12.5 -> 23 MPG

12/8/2013 1 873 13.12 -> 22 MPG

12/7/2013 1 530 15.99 -> 18 MPG

11/26/2013 1 161 13.27 -> 21 MPG

11/23/2013 709 13.7 -> 21 MPG

 

values provided in km and l/100km -> translated into MPG. I usually cruise at 75 mph, but for every tank I spend at least 1 hour idling at the border crossing, so I believe those numbers could be even better.

 

Now the funny part - my stat app is saying that I have made so far 4168 km (2589 miles) and burned 115 USD worth of fuel (634 liters = 167 gallons). Welcome to Saudi Arabia...

I think you are mixing up between us & imperial gollons in your calculation. Your mileage is actually less in mpg:

For example, 12.72 l/100 km is equal to 18.49 mpg.
