What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

This is all interesting, I’m finding no one cruises in eco on road trips? I’m strictly eco until someone is reeling me in quickly, or a mustang pulls up last week in Seattle I was going from I5 to I90 and there was a bmw bangin and popping behind me through the tunnel, so I said it’s on…… I won LOL I also bagged my buddies widebody redeye. I only ask because I am recently driving between Northern BC and Phoenix AZ weekly to visit my wife until I can find work and get my green card! The sad thing is, I almost spend more on fuel driving in Canada for 5 hours than I do in the States for 20 hours……

I sure hope you can get your "long distance relationship" resolved with a job/green card. There is a big difference in doing what you are currently doing weekly vs a freeway road trip. Best wishes, my friend.

I hate Eco, even with adaptive cruise. It takes forever to get going, leaving gaps for other cars to jump in. If I were that worried about MPG, I would have gotten an Explorer Platinum with the 4 banger. Just my 0.02.

I've tried using Eco on my adaptive cruise stop-and-go trips home from work. Can't do it.

I looked into it and the 4 banger only gets like less than 0.5mpg better if I remember right

I think higher mpg would just be a symptom of my skinny foot doing less in the 4 banger lol.

Oh yeah, we’re good, she’s from down here but lived in Canada most her life, but Canada is hard right now, we’re losing all our rights and freedoms almost weekly now. I’m fortunate enough to have a work schedule that lets me do this with tons of paid holidays, I would fly, but flying is way more expensive believe it or not
