I am with RDFTS. Now I know why I was avoiding this thread.

I have been driving very conservative just to get most mpg as an experiment. I believe it is because I barely see highway speeds all week. It's almost all stop and go most of the time.

All in good fun of course.

Rdfts ?

I get 12-15 kilometers per litre with my peugeot 309 station
And drive about 500 kilometers a week

And that is a 1.6 litre

So i'm impressed you guys get 1:7 litre:kilometer with a 6.2 littre

RDFTS. He is a user commenting on a post above.

I started reading here since I have had many tankfuls on 87oct fuel trying to max out mpg on my daily driver (this truck).

It is really mostly bumper to bumper traffic. I seem to no be able to get better than 11.8 on the stock tune. That is between 375 to 400 mile distance per fillup. Now I will see how it goes with SCT canned tune for 87oct gas. Then the 5-Star 87oct eco tune.

Aaah yea lol. Tought it was an abreaviation
Hahahaha

Tune will help. But bumper to bumper means lot of idle time
So its not realy fair

Someone should do something like : rotations per gallon x 1.000
Then it evens the playing field

Keep in mind that highest mpg is in highest gear
At he rpm where you have maximum torque ( rule of thumb )

I can fill it up (super crew) and it lasts me 6-8 days. That is 450 dollars or more in gas every month.

I had a cadillac CTS-V making 580rwhp that used up about 550 dollars a month. So the Raptor is an improvement lol.

I do not even have E85 around. That would be nice... for the GT-R hehehe.

Don't know if it would do well for the Raptor. I don't even remember if it is Flex Fuel.

Would be nice if that could be an option for a performance tune.

Got my ass handed to me by a 6.7L modded Turbo Diesel and he cannot use that. Race happened just because his car was out with engine trouble. Now THAT would be fun even if I waste a tank on two passes.

Do the 5.4 trucks report performance improvements.
