Information (Raptor European Fuel Economy + Payload Questions)

[tony]

Hi guys, I'm new Italian user so I'm sorry if I'll write something wrong...
I've the ford f150 stx supercab 4x4 4.6 l MY 2005 but now I wanna change it with new raptor Screw.
Can someone say me if my truck has a equal fuel economy then raptor?
Thanks to everyone!

the Raptor 6.2 will probably get 10-15 mpg depending on how u drive it.

hey Tony! Welcome.

Birdman's guesstimate sounds accurate, but I don't know the mileage of the 4.6 stx you have.

Can you give us the mileage on your stx so we can compare??

....Also, I'm sure you buy your gas in liters rather than gallons, so there will be a bit of a numerical conversion.

I know that 1 gal is 3,78 liters.... with my 4.6 I have mileage of 6 km/l..... so about 15 mpg, is it right?

 

[BOJANGLES]

ok, 1 gallon = 3.78 liters, but how many kilometers in a mile??? Isn't it 2.5 or something like that?

1 mile = 1.6 km....

It'll come out to about the same MPG/MPL.

Welcome! great to have you here.

Welcome Tony,
We too use the metric system here, and I just rolled over 16,000 km on mine in 5 months.
Driving it out of the dealer the truck reported 15L/100km. That quickly went to 17L/100km once the truck got used to my right foot.
I did acheive a high score of 19L/100km last Monday but that was 6 hours of mountain trails and hill climbing

I still refer to it as "about $20.00 per hour" on average.

Hope that helps
