On 2012 supercab (about 208000 miles) average after a few tankfuls of mixed town and hwy is about 14.5 running 87.
This has been consistent for several years (am original owner).

I'm really happy with my new truck so far, except for the annoying double-honk alert if I leave it running to hop out for a second.
My bronco and Raptor both have this wonderful feature. Gonna need to get into forescan.

What made you decide to make the change?
Loved the TRX. Ran it up to 70,000 miles without issue. Was just ready for another change. I am over the need to have/want a supercharged v8.

Had the TRX and a RedEye Challenger. I got my fill.

I have not met a car enthusiasts yet who doesn't want to go faster, make more power. Maybe you will be my first (totally not gay). If someone dropped off a screaming V8 in your driveway for free, would you keep it or sell it?

I understand the point you made, I'm just saying that no one is "over" a supercharged V8.

This is where I’m at currently. Been in a Supercharged v8 since 2019. Was time for a change. The green one is the wife’s car.
