[QUOTE="Supercup, post: 872734, member: 15302"] I have Raptor 6.2 L - My brother has platnium with 3.5 - I drove his for a few weeks on my commute of 130 miles a day before I bought the Raptor - I got 13-14 MPG - in the raptor I get 12 - 13 (I drive fast). Towing my boat (7,000 lbs) the Raptor gets 9.5 to 10.5. With the EB we get 9 - 10. So if you drive fast or tow - there is limited fuel mileage advantage. If you drive the EPA look there is an advantage - but that is not how I drive or use my truck. Either way the mileage is pretty bad if you drive 30k miles + per year like I do. But I like the truck and enjoy the sound and the fun I can have with it. For the next EB 10 speed Raptor I would expect a pick up of a mpg or two over current in similar driving conditions. EPA look numbers will be great, but they don't apply to the real world. I will give my son current Raptor and get the new one for me, with the agreement that if I want we trade back! I don't think the next truck will be a step back, but it will lose some of its appeal - just can't beat a good old American V8 for sound and reliability! [/QUOTE]
