Best MPGe

[JPMaly]

Lincoln states over 70 MPGe. What driving mode would I use to get it? Or the best MPGe. Thanks

On my ‘24 GT I have over 7700 miles on it and have used 16 gallons of gasoline. That computes to 481 mpge. That’s due to the vast majority of my driving being within the battery range of the car. I leave it in standard mode.

Everyone’s experience will be different as there are so many variables…driving style…climate…type of driving, etc.

If you're asking about how to eak out the best possible mpg, I think it takes magical knowledge of switching between Conserve and Preserve modes. Generally speaking Conserve in city and Preserve on highway.

But getting very good mpg just means always start a trip charged to 100% and drive conservatively. I think 70 mpg implies 60-70% EV miles, I.e., trips less than about 25 miles.

At nearly 20k total miles in my 2023 GT III, my average mpg is about 65.

I have found a measurement I like a lot better than MPG/MPGe. I call it MP$ - miles per $1.00. For example ... our 22 Corsair usually take about 11kwh to charge fully (100%). Our electricity rate is $.083/kwh. So, rounding things off to $1 per 11kwh, I get about 25 miles per $1.00 of "fuel".

When I run solely on gas (like when we were told not to charge as part of the initial battery recall), we get about 30MPG ... so, at ~$4/gallon here in Washington state, that works out to about 7.5 miles per $1.00 of fuel.

So, we try to run on battery most of the time whenever we can. For example, I just filled up on 21 December with 10 gal of gas. My previous fillip was around the 1st of October.

Must say, the savings really mount up when using a full EV like our F-150 Lightning!! I'm currently running about 80-90 miles or so per $10 of electricity vs ~5 miles per dollar of gas (which is what I was running on our '22 F-150 V-6!!)
