Saw this on yahoo. Thought it was interesting. The Raptor is Numer 6!

I see that Ford has three vehicles in there. The Raptor, F-250 and Expedition. Keep up the good work Ford.

I didn't realize the 6.2 in the F250 is rated 2 mpg's better than the Raptor.

They have a little different configuration. It is not the same engine.

Awesome! I have 2 vehicles on the list. The mileage numbers for the Raptor must be incorrect. I'm getting better.

You need to have a heavier right foot.

I dont know how scientific it is but since I reworked the exhaust and added the Airaid CAI, my mileage is better eventhough I am definitely hammering it more these days.

Someone needs to tell the prius loving tree hugger of an author that his prius is way worth for the environment than our Raptors. I will have to find the video of how bad mining nickel is for his battery.

Agree. My daughter has a Civic Hybrid. That car defines PoS (quality, fit and finish, paint, wear and tear, etc.). Worse, it required a complete battery swap at 16k miles. Apparently, this is very common for those cars. Fortunately, the battery is covered until 100k miles otherwise I would have been out $6k.
