I hit 2K miles this weekend on a trip to NC from VA to watch our grandson play some travel ball. Granted. I normally travel on average 5-7 mph over when traffic/conditions permit but today I purposely held it at 71/70 for at least one hour in lighter than normal traffic on I-95. My wife took this shot from the pass seat so it is a little blurry. I had doubted I would really see better mileage than previous trucks but I have to say that so far I am more than impressed with this motor. Several really tried to say it was a mistake and that I should go with the Hemi but I just left the 5.0 in a 2018 F-150 and I have zero complaints with this V-6. It's quicker than I thought it would be when I need it to be. It's comfortable and the road noise is certainly less than the F-150 ever was when brand new. I can handle these numbers for gas mileage.

I just took a 1500 mile trip up north and got an average of 19.9 MPG. I think this is pretty good.
This is what its rated at. The computer is pretty close may even get better with more miles. I have averaged 20.1 hand calculated so far with 750 miles on mine.
My V6 etorque gets about 16 on average. Not great. My old hemi got that...what am I doing wrong?
