I got 17.5 both calculated and on the display using 89 octane. Roads are rural 35 to 55 speed limit but sometimes doing 65+. Run 600 miles a week.

There is a hidden feature on F-150's called "Engineering Test Mode." You can change certain features within this mode and the fuel mileage calculation is one of them. The link below has good info on how to make the change. Post #60 is a good starting point. It does take some trial and error to get the truck into test mode unless your lucky the first time you try. I was not but I figured it out. ForScan isn't needed, the tool built into the truck. I've only changed my fuel calculation but you can google "Engineering Test Mode" and get much more info if you want to delve into it.
