What is everyone really getting? In my new 2018 S-CAB I'm averaging 15.2 so far.

Just broke 500 miles so hoping it'll go up??

5300 miles on mine now. Think the average over the entire life of the truck is 17.0 or so. Most of my freeway-only tanks have been 19.5-ish but I also keep it under 75mph and drive pretty gently. Also only use premium.

My tanks average anywhere from 15.5-16.5 according to the dash in my 2018 so far with almost 5k miles. I typically use 89 octane and mostly drive 50/50 city/ hwy.

I have tried premium 93 octane gas, and while the mpg does go up, its still worse $/gal so I stick with 89.

According to my raptor I get:

Winter
91 octane 14.9
93 octane 15.5

Summer
91 octane 15.8
93 octane 16.5

Towing 5k boat 500lb tongue weight:
91 octane 11.2
93 octane 12.6

7500 miles currently mpg went up about .5 from first oil change at 3500 miles.

So far from gen 1 to gen 2 screw I gained aprox 1mpg

I get 93 from Costco as it’s less then everyone has 91 that is most common in my area.

Before first oil change around 14mpg...mainly highway cruising roughly 75-80. Since I changed the oil and put in full synthetic, same driving conditions I am sitting at 16.7

WHAT! I did not notice any change when I went to 100% synthetic oil, made no difference at all

Does anyone actually know that it does not come with full synthetic from the factory?
