Raptor R realistic fuel economy expectations

[NES431]

This is from TFL's Raptor R in-depth video. Maybe it takes a couple tanks to calibrate or the media people are mashing the pedal every time they get in it. 59 miles to empty on just under a half tank. I hope it's not right.

They are driving the **** out of them vehicles... testing and whatnots. Like I said, Henry said 16.3MPG.

It's probably off .... they burned more than half a tank going 46.9 miles. LOL

Most of that was likely sitting idle.

I agree with people saying if you can afford the truck you can afford the gas. I don’t know if anyone else seen it in one of the videos Ford released on the debut day, there was 1/2 of a tank on the gauges and it read 191 miles till empty. Now granted they’re beating the ******* off of the truck, my Gen2 at half tank says 291. So unless Ethereum goes the way of Bitcoin in 2021, I’m out!

Thats a whooping 2.37 MPG on that R!

Who is buying a R that gives a damn about the MPGs?

The same exact people who would continually point out that the regular raptor gets better mpg than the trx Ohhh how the turntables have… (insert micheal Scott)

I wouldn't put too much stock in that. You would think that a brand new, never started truck would start at 0 mpg, plus it shows the truck has only moved 49 miles since it was built. Probably been sitting around idling mostly and revving the engine because everyone wants to hear what it sounds like.

I don't put much stock in ANYTHING from TFL...
