I couldn't agree more with this statement, thanks for being a breath of fresh air to the forum.
Drive the Gen 3 from CT to Miami, Cruise control at 72 to 75 as much as possible got 17.6MPG. Then CT to Nashville 17.5mpg similar speeds. Go above 80mph down to 15.5/16 mpg. Its certainly appeared to improve after I realized on the highway to put the exhaust into quiet mode, no. idea if thats a fact but appears to be so.
Having said that I didn't get a Raptor to look for gas savings, in fact its my pleasure to annoy the EV crowd.

The fact he works for "Uncle Sam" seems to have been overlooked. I have a 2013 with 80k. I'm meticulous with the servicing, and running stock BFGs that I rotate and air check every 5k. I drive a mix of highway and town, and the best I can ever get is 13 MPG

That’s not what I would consider very constructive criticism and really unnecessary. I’ve found this forum is for people who want to share their experiences, seek feedback and voice their opinions and while you don’t have to agree with anyones opinions, it’s extremely unnecessary to make such strong condescending remarks, Especially when it comes to FordTechOne as he’s been extremely useful and a great source for many of us on this forum.
@FordTechOne have you watched born in baja yet?
On the ecoboost, when your in boost, say about 14.7psi, you have turned that little 3.5 into a 7.0 liter. So the ecoboost can consume the fuel as well as conserve it out of boost. Basically what I’m trying to say is there is some truth being said in this forum as well as some partial truths
I know I could easily look this up, but how does the EPA develop the mpg estimate? Flat ground at sea level, a mix, etc?
