I guess no one is willing to tell. I get around 15mpg on the highway with my 2007 f150 supercab 5.4 3 valve with 3.73 gears. Hope that helps.

I was just curious if they are getting what the window sticker claimed of 14/18. I guess it's a big secret........

Um well.... maybe its the fact that there aren't many people on the site that have a Raptor, I'm just saying. I mean I have only seen 1 on the road, how many do you think are on here?

i got 2000 miles on my raptor so far.

im in high elevation, about 6000 above sea level, so it will vary depending where you live.

when i was in california, my old 2005 F150 was getting about 19 to 20mpg on the highway...when i moved out to cheyenne, i only but got 14mpg..maybe 15mpg..

i get the same with my raptor, but maybe 13 to 14mpg...at this elevation, so comparing it to my old truck, i should relatively get the same MPG out in cali. So yes, after breaking in my engine, i think the MPG is on point depending on location.

I just hit 1000 miles on mine a few days ago. I have a picture on my phone where I was getting 21+mpg on the highway. If I go 65-70mph I get 20+ unless there a lot of hills. Around town 12-16mpg. Have to be light on the peddle though. Different tires might help. I'm getting a CAI soon which might help a little. Great truck so far.

I just picked up a 6.2 yesterday. Rolled off the truck with 24 miles on truck and display read 6.1. After I rest and drove another 25 or so it says 8.6. I am sure it will come up some once the engine breaks in but I would guess it will be about 10/11 city and 12/13 hwy on average. If it turns out to be better that would just be a bonus.

I would have thought it would turn out a little better than that. I get around 10 city / 12 highway on my F-250 6.8L with 4.30 rear end.
