    I haven't looked for a few years, but what mid size are using 30% less than 9.5L/100 these days? If that's real then I've missed something important.

    Real world city driving, the Maverick.

    @spikerS what do you get pure city driving in your hybrid F-150?

    This is cherry picked.

    Mavrick is hybrid fwd.

    The 2L awd Maverick isn’t 30% better, but honestly I’d have to check.

    How is answering the question cherry picking? He literally asked which mid-sized does it. I'm also comparing real world hybrid midsized to real world hybrid full sized numbers.

    My f150 is doing around 12.8l/100km I think. 2.7 ecoboost

    My initial thought was the maverick isn’t midsize. It’s a compact pickup based on an escape.

    Am I wrong here?

    Maybe? It's small, but maybe the rigid classifications aren't that useful anyway. Maverick is smaller than a Ridgeline and Colorado anyway.

    I took a ride out to the lake with a guy with a Maverick.

    It’s definitely not anything like a truck. And it’s also quite great.

    Assume a ridgeline is something similar.

    My Tacoma is not better on fuel than any full size truck and arguably worse than some.

    I just like a smaller truck , other than interior cab space I've never had a need for bigger.

    Basically the bread and butter of the Japanese brands is riding on the coattails of 20 year old drivetrains never changing anything and continuing to charge premium prices for the privilege.

    The best I can tell they are just squeezing the blood from a stone of a formerly innovative business now in perpetual decline.

    The Tacoma is exactly what you would expect it to be once you understand this.

    I bought it because it's exactly what I expected it to be though. And in 185K the worst/only repair bill I've had is a broken seat heater so I'll probably buy one more....

    I don’t judge people for buying them as much as i judge Toyota for making them

    My new Chevy 1500 3.0L Duramax is now 5000km in already having done two runs to BC and back plus a bunch of local driving and I have never seen better fuel economy in a vehicle I have owned...

    So far, all highway with cruise set at 10km over the limit, I averaged 8.5L/100km going from Water Valley to Golden. Driving relatively aggressively the rest of the way to the South Okanagan, then to Vancouver, then back to Water Valley, the entire trip averaged 9.4L/100km. Refilled here and a bunch of runs into the city plus Calgary driving I was 9.5L.

    2 days ago a buddy asked if I wanted to go for a ride to Vernon to pick up a 1983 Mercedes SL so I said sure but I want to take my truck to give it a real world test towing. I reset the counter right after the car was loaded and from Vernon to Calgary towing a heavy duty car trailer plus the car (so I am guessing about 5500/6000lbs but did not scale it) and driving it 30KM over the limit most the way, I averaged 13.6L. Could have gotten it much less if driving the speed limit but there you go...

    Overall, I think the bridge between fuel economies of the mid-size and full size trucks are closing the gap quickly with the different engine options.

    Those are some amazing numbers. My 6.2 Denali would get 11 L/100km if driven nicely but averaged around 13.5L/100km highway. Definitely have a 3.0 Yukon or Suburban on my radar once the whole market cools down some. It'd be cool to have a massive full size SUV that gets fuel economy comparable to a small 4 cyl crossover.

    you cant compare fuel consumption in diesels to gas, though. 8.5l/100km in diesel has a different cost than 8.5l/100km in regular.

    You should always look at fuel in terms of $$$/km driven.

    Agree, but what is weird is one fill up was actually priced like 2 cents less than regular at one place, 3 more were only a few pennies higher, and one was like a dime or close to it more per litre. I think to my F150 5.0L, even when doing 12.5L/100 as it seems to have been the last six months regularly, the 3.0L Duramax is capable of burning almost a third less fuel by volume, and it certainly is not a third more expensive to purchase. Net win in my books even having to add 20L of DEF every 10,000kms to 15000kms (as per what the chatter online seems to suggest is common depending how one uses their truck). I have not yet had to add any DEF since new but I do not know how full the tank was when I picked it up originally.
