[QUOTE="jesse, post: 93770, member: 1453"] Alot of factors to consider while calculating MPG's...one BIG factor is elevation! When i was in Santa Barbara County, my 2005 F150 was getting 14Mpgs in the city, and damn close to 20 MPG on the highway...easily! thats going 80mph and so on.. took the SAME exact truck to Fort Collins CO, **** went all the way down to 15 to 16MPG on the highway! im at 6K elevation up here...now for my raptor to compare it to, since they were both 5.4L mills My raptor is a 2 MPG difference between E85 and 87...on 87 octane, i can do 15MPG on the highway...with E85, i can do anywhere between 13MPG to 14MPG on a good well behaved day... when i average out the entire tank...i get 11.5 with E85 (mixed city/hwy) and 13.5 with 87 (mixed city/hwy) thats pretty impressive when compared to my old 2005 Lariat, which had a K&N air filter and true dual exhaust...(IMCO) this is why everybody is seeing such a different on MPG read outs...and of course as what was already mentioned, how hard you punch and drive and light to light racing...need to pass people in the passing lane cause they made you click out of cruise control and so on lol [/QUOTE]
