One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

[svtfan]

I have done two fill ups since I got it new a few weeks ago and its seems to only wanna get about 13.5mpg. I am starting to think those 15-17mpg numbers just dont exist either LOL

keep it steady on the freeway long enough you will get there. no stopping or accelerating..... thats the key.........

How does anybody drive this beast with a study foot when you know you have 400+ horsepower? This is not a Prius! It's made to be romped & stomped on!

Let's be clear: I'm not complaining about 12mpg because it's 12mpg; I'm just wondering how other people, who claim to drive no differently, do 17mpg instead of 12mpg!

All else being equal, I'll take 17 instead of 12 any day; just not sure all else is equal.

The only way my truck will get 17 mpg, is when it's on a trailer being tolled a 25 mph by Volkswagon TDI, down a very steep incline. I'm very skeptical when I see 17 mpg for a whole tank of fuel. They do call that display "Lie Of Meter" for a reason. My LOM says I average 13.1 mpg, but when I calulate it the old fashion way it's around 12.6 mpg.

You know the 3 things guys lie about most ,
1. How big their Johnson is
2. How much they paid for their truck
3. How many MPG their truck gets

I wish I had a big Johnson and got good gas mileage in my $30K Raptor.

1. Big enough to get to the honey hole and get my rod in quickly!
2. $55k + tags
3. 11.5 MPG

Lies require too much thinking!!

Im good with the 13.5mpg as well. Driving it like an old lady negates getting the raptor in the 1st place. I was just skeptical of the others numbers too..

Love my truck!
