[QUOTE="17022, post: 1329711, member: 27280"] This has been my first winter with the Raptor and I’ve noticed the estimated MPG has been pretty bad lately. I purchased this truck last April and averaged 18.5 mpg consistently on my commute to work. Lately (during these cold weeks, but that realization came to me only yesterday) my fuel economy has been horrid. 15 or even less miles per gallon when I’d expect to see 18+... sometimes 19+. Thought it might be the cold air flattening out my tires so I filled them up. No change. Thought that the oil change that was due might bring it back. No change. Randomly came across the cold weather variable and I think this might be the culprit here actually. A 20% reduction in MPG is pretty extreme though... I’ve never noticed this in my other vehicles. Other thing to note is the bad mileage is only in the first twenty minutes of driving. After it fully warms up I suppose it returns to normal. Wouldn’t think it would take every bit of twenty minutes though. Anyone else experiencing this? [/QUOTE]
