So your claiming not a single person used anything but the weakest fuel that reported their mpg on Fuelly? ok? Does it not say anything about increased performance in that manual with premium fuel or differences in performance with different fuel grades? So according to you, that fuelly number just happens to coincide with the cheapest possible option. I don't believe that for a second....Cherry picking?
What I understand is that fuel mileage increases with better fuel, in-case you didn't know that.
Seriously?
As I said before I put over 200k on two 3.5L Ecoboost trucks(80k on my 4wd personal truck and 150k on a 2wd company truck) and the average between the both of them was 16 mpg just like fuelly states and I NEVER used anything other than regular octane. We also have over 200 parts delivery and sales trucks in our 500+ truck fleet at work and NONE of them have ever used premium or mid-grade fuel while averaging dang near what fuelly states.
So how many miles of experience do you have driving a 3.5L Ecoboost to say that the 16.2 mpg average on fuelly is with premium or mid-grade fuel?
