The mustang story is exaggerated. If the car really is flogged then it's more like 20/16 Unless the air is really that much different in your area. My 2012 5.0 usually averaged 14/16 with city driving, and on cruises would sit around 21-23 mpg. This is with the 3.73s.

As for the Raptor, your expectations are off for a vehicle like this. Physics are completely against the truck when it comes to MPG. if the stuff I've seen is accurate, the wheels weigh ~90 lbs. It is also 6,000 lbs, shaped like a brick, and has a TON of unsprung weight. I would say it's rating is pretty damn efficient considering these factors.

Not hating, just countering observations

[QUOTE="comagt, post: 62404, member: 1763"] The mustang story is exaggerated. If the car really is flogged then it's more like 20/16 ;) Unless the air is really that much different in your area.
