[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1230366, member: 21926"] I just completed my first road trip with my Raptor and my wife that included a significant distance on interstate with non-communist speed limits ( 70+mph). I live where new yawkers and new jersians flee south to, so there are so many unskilled, rude yankee transplants that speed limits are set artificially low for the unwashed peasants fleeing urban population centers, and the rest of us won’t be killed by them:flipthebird: anyway - previous trips to the coast have been mostly in the 65mph and under trips. All with great results, 18-20.5 for the highway portions and even some beach town commuting. Now I get to 64 east / west VA to the former and future Virginia county of Kentucky. I was seeing as low as 13 on the gauge readout. At first I thought maybe the pedal commander, set on city +1 might be punking me, so I whacked it down to city -2, then turned off, all with no difference. I burned through a tank of 93, then a tank of 87, another 93 - same results. 2h / 4a made no difference either, at least as far as mpg, but for quick starts it sure helps with the smile factor. Each tank of gas got just a little worse as we kept piling in bourbon bottles to bring back. :biggrin: The tip over point seems to be about 65mph. I can keep that speed and get over 17 mpg. at about 70, I’m over 16, but not quite 17mpg. at 75, I’m seeing about 15.5mpg, at 78, I’m seeing under 15. I hate to admit this publicly, but I actually pulled up the live economy meter. I know.... :supergay: but, after watching the gauge a bit live, I set the truck to about 74 and got about 16.0 on the more level sections of 64. I let my wife drive for a while, peeked up from the iPhone and spied the tach spinning well north of 2k rpms - in 10th gear, so I asked - ‘how fast are you going?’ answer withheld to protect the guilty. about 2550 rpms in 10th gear. Adaptive cruise freakin rocks. [/QUOTE]
