fuel economy

is this accurate, this scares me, where I live gas is $5 a gallon, I’ve seen a ‘20 for sale and it showed a whopping 7 mpg, I currently have a F-350 that I want to trade in for a Raptor, I’ve been on this site for quite some time trying to educate myself on the Raptor, this kind of mileage is terrible but not a deal breaker, any thoughts?

More likely around 15mpg, If you drive cautiously I bet you could get 20mpg, If you drive like your a D I C K I bet you could get 8mpg.

not sure if this can be a serious question. 35 gallon tank at 1.7 mpgs you'd be filling up 1-2 times a day. and that should be a deal breaker for any normal person unless its funny car on a dragstrip. but if your serious 15 - 16 is about what I average.

I drive cautiously in my stock Powerboost and I’m barely hovering around 20 MPGs.

Is that average or highway only, I should of said highway with my guess-ta-mit, lol
I get 17-18 mpg on the highway in my Gen 1 6.2 doing the speed limit, so you should be able to do so much better with properly inflated tires and driving habits.

@Steve Chadwick :the low fuel economy you are referencing is a highly guarded Ford secret to decrease overall performance and fuel economy while playing Phil Collins music.

3,000 miles here - averaging about 17MPG, a lot of its highway though. Use sport mode around town which im sure tanks the number a bit.
