I'm getting 13.5 in my 37 package and I don't drive it to get good mileage. I just got my R this week and will be interested to see how it compares as I will continue to drive it like I did my 37 package.

Yeah I'm not concerned on babying MPG, driving fast and slow. Actually damn impressed w R as my 37 I got about 14-15. Doesn't matter at end of day, just interesting.

I average ~12 mpg during my daily city driving commute. ~7 mpg during a Raptor event. I carry a 5-gal fuel jug for precautionary measures during those events.

I get 11.3 towing my 3,000lb boat from NC to FL @ 76 mph. My son in his SC Gen 1 gets 11.4 on the same trip towing the exact same boat.

The ‘’R’’ is a completely different animal
