Ford Raptor Forum

Anyone know of any performance chips that could help MPG? Me getting 10mpg is terrible and I cant drive any better. Thanks

Gotta be expensive on a 19 year olds budget :)

First off, there are no "chips" for the raptor. Most of us use the SCT Tuner that can be loaded with the modified tune from the tuner of your choice.

I run the 5 star 93 performance tune that rocks. The econo and performance tunes will get you a bit better than what your getting out of your truck. I get 11-13 around town depending on how I drive and avg 17-18mpg on the highway @ about 60-65mph.

This is a raptor though, you shouldnt expect good gas mileage really. There are already a bunch of posts about tunes and mpg, check them out with the search function. Lots of good stuff to read.


Hope that helps,
Jeff

after 2300 miles i have yet to average over 17mpg for any period of highway driving at 65-70 mph, im artound 15-16 mpg. i get around 9-10 in a town with a bunch of hills.

My truck just rolled over 10k last weekend and I get about the same mileage you're getting.

The 3k mi. mark is where it seems to get better. Myself and others have noticed a significant improvement after that. I'm averaging 14mpg per tank and see 15-17 on the hwy. Keep in mind that terrain (hills and such), fuel used and driving habits will differ.....especially driving habits.

I notice for about 1000 miles after an oil change my average mpg goes up by 1. I usually average 12.5 (by the computer, not exact) but after an oil change it goes up to 13.5

Yeah Jeff lets just say I have a good job ha. But I figured I wouldn't get great mpg with the raptor, just seeing if anyone knew of anything to help out and to be honest I know nothing about performance tuning. Thank you tho! Ill just have to drive like an old man I suppose.

Ya all must drive like Grandma cause I am getting 7-8mpg average.

I was gettin 11.5-12 before I put my Airaid on. It got a tad better milage in town but no differance on the highway. I removed the Airaid and went back stock, hated the noise, but I replaced the OEM paper filter with a WIX paper filter. The Wix has about 30 - 50 % more paper to it. Longer or taller pleats. I put that in and milage picked up to 12.5- 13 now.

My average over 8200 miles has been a solid 12.4. That includes a road trip from DFW to Colorado and back with a bike in the bed. Drive like grandma on my way to work and get as much as 15. But when I get home after traffic and a lot of full throttle manuvers it reads 11.5. AHhahaaaaa.

My worst tank was an average of 8 mpg. It sure was fun because it was all in town on city streets!

I've got ~7k miles and I'm usually at about a solid 10mpg. I can pull 17+ on the highway at about 65 or so, but where's the fun in that? SW long tubes, high flow cats, S-tube mufflers, AFE and custom SCT tune.
