Gas mileage

[TurboRanger]

I figured it didn't get the greatest gas mileage but 6 gallons in 80 miles my 2012 f 150 2.5 got twice the mileage

6mpg is not correct, something must be wrong.

Going up hill both ways?

After about 1800 miles I have been getting 18 to 21'ish depending on my right foot and where I am going.

My first few hundred miles were around 14-15 mpg. I was shocked!
But it improved as the novelty wore off and I didn't play around so much. Also it seemed to improve around 5-6000 miles.

We did an 8600 mile road trip over 7 weeks, averaged 18.5 overall.
Worst tank was 15.2, best tank was 21.4

In local daily driving I typically see 16-17. I do basically zero hwy miles daily driving. It's sitting at 1/4 tank at 17.3 right now. It's hard not to goof off and this thing can suck fuel!

BTW My 2014 F150 5.0 got 15-16 daily and 21-22 hwy.

I went 80 miles and almost 1/2 a tank flat freeway driving nice Wife was in the truck
2 motorcycles in the back A little head wind on the way back .
Ford Performance tune . Mileage on the dash said I was getting 17 mpg.
Here in commiefornia 91 is $6.00 a gal. I have 2200 miles on the truck

How much taller than the cab are those bikes? That can suck a lot more mpg than you would think.

I have about 6K on mine an my avg is up to almost 19. The first few tanks were 16ish. I drive it easy an it's mostly rural driving without a lot of stop an go.

Yeah something not right. Even when I’m off-roading and hitting the dunes I don’t even get anywhere near as bad fuel usage as that

 

[Bear376]

I just drove to the east coast (1000 miles) and got 22 mpg average doing 80-85. My F150 with the same engine would be looking at 18-19 mpg.

I have a ‘24 STX 4x4, 46k miles. I read somewhere that running the start/stop on increased mpg. I have been trying that, driving eco mode, and getting 25-26 mpg. This over the last 3 months. Funny thing is that the start/stop only engages maybe 20% of the time I stop.

Bill,

It is actually 13.33 mpg. I have almost 10K miles on mine and have my Trip 2 from the get go and I'm averaging 16.7 mpg.

 

[crawford]

according to my truck, i have never calculated myself: i get 19mpg on my 25 lariat with the 2.7 for mostly city. highway only i get 23mpg.

Car and Driver’s long term test for the Raptor yielded 14 mpg. I have a 2.7L and am getting about 24.5 mpg avg. My best for a highway trip is 28.7 mpg. and in (rare) suburban use it’s around 20 mpg. Note I typically get significantly better efficiency than my spouse. We had an Explorer ST (same drivetrain as the Raptor) and I could nudge 30 mpg. hwy., whereas she struggles to get 25 mpg.

 

[Bloody run]

The regular Rangers have final gear ratio of 3.73:1. Raptor has 4.27:1 this is part Reason for better MPGs

 

[Crapblaster]

I average about 18 1/2 mpg. This is with it being Goosetuned. He uses Greenspeed so it shouldn't affect gas mileage unless your running it hard.
