I live in a country setting speed limit 55. A mix of Highway 65 mph and country roads I just returned to the house 18.1 on dash. I always hand calculate at fill ups and find a 6 tenths difference less than truck shows. Yeah I drive like a little old lady easy on the pedal.
So what i did was take the 36 gallons, calculate the mileage vs tank size and came up with 15.2 MPG. Now i am in alabama and a wrestling coach so maybe i am sucking with a calculator lol...i did ask siri to do the math also and she agreed with me :D

How does one re-calibrate the speedo when adding larger diameter tires? Or does the ecm adjust for the change?
If you have a tuner you can adjust it...on mine you can. you can change the tire size in the tuner, my speedo is fine due to stock tires, my other F150 i had with 33's on it was 7MPH off...i contacted MP Tune and they told me to change the tire settings, it helped some, but ended up getting them to send me another tune and they adjusted something with the datalog and info i sent them and fixed it. The raptor though is accurate at least within 1mph from what ive seen on my GPS, Tuner, kenwood OBD gauge display and using diagnostic mode to get the digital speedo.

I want to know what kind of dog you have!!! Even Mastiffs aren’t that big!
Tank goes to get his 2yr checkup in a week...ill get a pic of the scale...i think he gained 5lbs on vacation lol....his head wasnt on the scale when they weighed him...so he was probably 240 on 3 June. Remember bull mastiffs are smaller than old english mastiffs. This is the Old English Mastiff. He was a movie star at the beach...my wife said i will never get to take him for a walk alone on the beach btw......the ladies were all over my buddy lol.

I have not reset the Lie-o-meter in my 2011 in over a year and it says 11.7 AVG.
Considering all the off-road this truck has seen, the added weight of all the extra suspension plus 37's at Texas Hwy Speeds... thats pretty damn good.
Plus this ole girl has 205k miles on it!!
My supercharged 14 was 12.7 to 13.2 after the JDM tune.

Starting with a full tank, I take the miles driven and divide by the gallons to refill, {miles driven/gallons to refill = mpg} I'm good at math but I suck at wrestling:D. We all have our weaknesses. BTW Beautiful Raptor. I'd stick to the hills of Leeds, and stay out of the saltwater.:( I'm guessing photoshopped . Rocks don't look real, no tire tracks or footprints. But nice Raptor all the same.
