”Pretty easy on the pedal & no better than 300 miles a tank”. Something’s not adding up. Pretty easy on the pedal will net you a hell of a lot more than 8.33 MPG. What’s the full story?
I’m driving mostly city, here and there I put the foot down pulling away from traffic, it’s almost got 2000miles on the clock now and ive done full tanks in quiet mode exhaust, babying it around and it gets maybe 350 max! Not a chance as raptor gets 500 miles to a tank unless your pushing it half the way!!

I actually got 15.2 and 15.1. the last two tanks. approx 500 per tank.. but mostly freeway driving. and this computer is shit. I hand calculated. both times the computer said 16.2 and 16.1 1 mpg off. I wasn't really babying it but was taking it easy. I guess driving more normal helps, but damn driving normal is so hard to do. I think ill go back to getting 14 mpg. much more fun.

I have just under 400 miles on my 35 and I’m getting 12.5 mpg so far. This is strictly local miles and no freeway driving. Hopefully it will improve some!

We'll have $10 ($11+ premium) gas by August...trust me. Could be $14 by years end. It's already $9 in CA. So factoring that in still bad either way. I don't care--can't do anything about it and I refuse to drive anything else for my truck use. As JP Morgan said today 'there is a hurricane...not storm...coming in the next few months'.

He won't need another 888 days to destroy what's left of US. Going to be a bumpy ride.
$2.75 in Iowa, don’t believe everything you hear.

Same here too. I have 4800 miles and one oil change at 1k miles. I sure hope to see better numbers on long highway drives. We havent taken it anywhere far yet. I had a gen2 in 2018. I seem to think that thing got 15mpg driving the same roads my gen3 is now. But maybe I am incorrect in my memory. Who knows. But I am somewhat disappointed seeing 12.5 when driving it nice and easy.

Just made a long trip from OKC, OK to East TN, about 930 miles. I set the cruise at 70mph the whole way. Best I saw on the trip computer was 19.9. This is with premium 91 from Sam’s club. After I filled up in Memphis with 93, seems like economy went down or just more hills further in TN. Dropped down eventually to 18.9. Still pretty good IMO. I average 13-14 in town. Mine is a 2023 with 35 inch tires
