Man, I have never seen that number and don’t think I will. Must have been a feather foot on the go fast pedal. It is cool to see it displayed though.

Wife and I took a drive from our place on Ashley Lake to Spotted Bear River rd (NW Montana) for a little fly fishing. It’s 200ish miles round trip with over 100 miles on dirt roads going around Hungry Horse Reservoir. The wife likes a relaxed ride so.... Thought I’d find out what kinda “miles to empty” I’d get after excursion. Don’t think I’ll ever see this again:

Did you ever reach speeds over 40mph? Lol. Obviously no stop and go. I have had over 600 at least once before, driving the truck easy on that tank.

Sorry, it's not done in Forscan. Here's a step-by-step write up. It took me a few tries to get mine into test mode, but it finally worked. See : https://www.f150forum.com/f118/fix-inaccurate-mpg-display-2-minutes-421912/
This is awesome. Drove me crazy that both my 2018 Raptor and 2015 F-150 show about 1-2 mpg higher than the actual and that the DTE is affected by this. Got my Raptor corrected now just need to do the F-150. Took me a few tries on the Raptor but it worked. The Raptor was reading high by 7% on average.

Glad u got it worked out, DeerHunter! I'm kinda tempted to put a ridiculously low number in there to get my DTE over 1000 miles just for giggles.

Mine was 560 when I picked it up new from dealership, now it’s reads a constant 460, Although I haven’t actually ran the thing to empty to check for accuracy

Funny. Here’s the conversation when I told my wife why I was messing with her F-150 earlier.

My wife says “so it doesn’t really get as good of MPGs as it tells me? That’s sad...”

I say “I can make it say you are getting 50 MPG if that would make you happy...”

My truck consistently reads 600 miles when I fuel it up.

I’ll say this, the fuel economy on the Raptor is fantastic compared to the 2012 Power Wagon it replaced. 12.5mpg was the best that pig ever saw!

Consistently above 550 on 93. Usually drive in normal mode, but put it in sport a lot.
The GMC AT4 I traded in, only averaged 15.5 Mpg on the computer and it only had a 24 gallon tank.
The Raptor is quicker and better on fuel.
