Hahahahaha

Yea those new teslas are popping up a lot lately here in the netherlands, mostly that they have cost to the driver when you lease them ( tax system )

The germans have 100octane as well
Ever tried that (is that like 96 us octane ?)

The germans started offering it
I think its e-35 or e-85
Not sure

There are still major diffrences between te countries
Mostly leaded gas is banned
But we have 93(rare) 95 98 and 100 at the pump
Then you also have the Vpower types of the 98 and 100 octAne fuels

And cng and lpg for compressed gasvapor fuels

Keep in mind that you use a diffrent measuringnsystem
So there tends to be a 2-3 octane diffence that it shows lower in us ron system

I have been getting 9.1 mpg on my daily drives. 7.4 mile round trip with 3 stop signs and 4 stop lights.

I reset it last night on the highway (55mph). I came to a roll once to get on the interstate going uphill on an on ramp(65 mph). after the 35 mile drive, driving through town a bit to get home (4 stop lights and a few stop signs), I am at 17.8 mpg.

At 66 mph I was fine. At 67mph the mpg would start to go back down. So its nice to know I could get some decent mileage if I wanted to take a long trip somewhere.

So dose the European gas have ethanol in it? It's probably e-30


We have E-10 on base. Not sure what they offer on the economy. I know they offer 100 US octane but not ready to pay almost $300 for a tank of gas.

Germany is pretty hilly. I was fluctuating between 120-130 kmph but always with cruise control. Break your truck in and you will see the milage go up. I'm convinced that some living in the flats of Nebraska could go 650 miles at the right speed.



I need to install those headers still...

20.2 MPG (66 mile round trip) on 5star Performance Tune @ 93 octane. Averaged about 45 MPH by going thru town (caught a few lights), and no faster than 55 MPH on the back roads.

Obviously, getting the highest MPG is not what we all pride ourselves in when owning a Raptor...but it's good to know that decent MPG is optional based on driver habits lol

I got 15.0 on the trip home with the truck over hilly passes and not maintaining a consistent speed. I've been messing with the 'history' mpg gauge and I've had plenty of trips running 18-20 mpg as long as I'm not stopping/starting all the time. All on 45-55 mph backroad highways which i understand is about best case scenario. My truck also only has 350 miles on it so I hope it goes up.
