HM Raptor did it again!!!

Wife's SHO gets 29 mpg at 90 mph towing NOTHING. (Which if you do the math based on thermal efficiency and the internal combustion engine is pretty impressive given a 4400lbs missile at 150 feet per second)

There is no way on God's Green Earth you averaged 34.4 In anything hauling anything unless you averaged 6 mpg going (then 34.4 coming might be possible).

That is impressive.

That is utter *********, on the level of the 100 mpg carburetor.!

Well I'm glad it doesn't have a carb. I even drove it when he arrived and the display had 34.4 mpg which he zeroed when he left.

The rating for the truck is 40 city / 33 highway. I have seen several get 50+ mpg with mostly city driving. Old Raptor Guy learning new tricks...

My mistake I thought you were talking about the Raptor.

No Worries, Now I am laughing too. If I keep it at 65, I'm lucky to get 14.5 to 15 mpg. Those 40's don't help at all.
