[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1329763, member: 21926"] Man, let me just (sarcastically) say that the gen1 crew was driving this place into the ground with constant whining and complaining about EM PEE GEES [URL='https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/one-and-only-gas-mileage-thread-please.198/unread']One and ONLY gas mileage thread please[/URL] until the Gen2 came around. Fortunately most of the OG’s who made the EM PEE GEE threat great moved on so this place could get back to what it’s great at - being a community (for trolls) and offroad bench racing. :-P If you live in or near some urban $hithole that has some bastardized “winter fuel blend” formula this could be a significant contributor. I definitely get less economy in every vehicle I have from the 10% ethanol blends. It’s probably not helping things that with S/C or turbo vehicles cold ambient air helps reclaim some lost ponies and it can be a little more... entertaining... to drive. I wonder how many posts until kid ignoramus comes in and sasquatches this thread too? so you haven’t noticed in other vehicles. Have you got another vehicle you can test out? No accompanying other symptoms, like a brake drag? This may sound dumb, but any chance you engage the parking brake and inadvertently depressed the pedal again partially? My wife did this in a previous vehicle, you could almost get half the parking brake pedal depressed until the light came on. it was enough to cause drag and make the car dog slow. Are your expectations for economy realistic? A lot of folks in the Jenny community - you know who you are - loudly proclaim they’re getting 18+ MPG rolling across large central and western states at 80mph. Shyeah. Economy drops like a stone above about 68mph in the Rap. Are you in some sub-arctic tundra where humans shouldn’t live? Maybe the truck is trying to tell you to move. it’s only the first ~20 minutes, are you warming the truck up first, even a little? if you do warm up the truck first, does that change things? [/QUOTE]
