6.2 supercrew raptor gas milage
So far in the ownership of my truck I have driven mostly around town with the exception of a road trip to Utah to break it in. On that trip I drove 1500 miles when the truck was one week old and averaged 14.9 mpg. On easter I drove to my parents house which is about 100 miles away. It was a mix of freeway and backroads. Speeds averaged 55-65 mph. I filled up before I left and this was the result. Keep in mind to my house is at 200ft elevation and my parents live at 1800. I was pretty stoked on the real world broken in gas milage of my heavy Raptor. I know it wasnt a full tank I went through as I still have almost 3\4 of a tank almost a week later. I have driven all city since than and am still at a 15mpg average. Here is the pics
Not bad, if you are a country highway driver where 55-65 is the norm that mileage will work fine for you. I'd really like to know what you average going 75 in the Interstate. Most guys I know with Raptors get what the sticker says 11 in town and 14 on the highway going 75 which is the speed limit here in AZ

I can't believe that the few that commented before me didnt say anything about this being the COMPUTER calculated mileage. Usually the computer is going to give you at least 1 but more than likely 2mpg's more than it would be when you actually hand calculate it. I don't know how a 6.2 raptor would be getting better than the 5.4, and this is obviously babied as well.

In my experience the comp has been pretty accurate within a few tenths. In fact..it has never been off more than .3 vs actual calculation. On the way to and from Utah we were doing 75-80 and averaged in the 14's. The extra ten mph really kills it. Around town its 10 or 11
