[QUOTE="Sonicsunspot, post: 1775825, member: 38903"] I am gearing up for another run from KC to Boulder and back tomorrow. Someone had mentioned a sweet spot for Gen2 Raptors mpg at 75mph. Above that the EcoBoost starts loosing efficiency against the aerodynamics of the truck and mpg degrades. Where IS the sweet spot? 75, 80, 85? I usually have a strong headwind heading west, get the tailwind coming back. Recently average 13.1mpg heading out but was back up to an average of 16mpg arriving home. I also suspect gradual but REAL elevation change hurts heading west. Speed was 80-90 most of the way. I figure aerodynamics at 90 are killing mpg. I am willing to sacrifice a few minutes if I can stretch the range a bit. Curious about everyone's thinking on this. The difference in my trip between average of 70mph and 80mph is about an hour in time. Before the Bidenomic impact, I never really worried about it - now I have to start thinking about fuel economy, nuclear Armageddon, Russian invasion and good places to hide in the mountains around Calumet.
