Is this a ppf thread or an MpG thread? Whats the general consensus?

Sick truck btw OP im jealous.

Judging by your 13 mpg in your 3.5 your style lends itself to lower mpg. I have about 16-17 on average. Ive gotten as high as 19 in the 3.5. Theres a time to rip and theres a time to relax and cruise. The raptor can go fast and violent but it can also cruise at 80 pin quiet and cushy…

I don’t know about you but anytime I’m going 80 my mpg plummets.

I have 17k miles now and I average about 10.1 mpg. 37x13.5 tires. I’ve just gotten used to getting 350 miles a tank.

Just filled up. I don’t know if I can get used to 200 miles less per tank. Do you get gas every 3 days?

If you’re getting that on the 3.5 you will do better than 10 in the R if your habits don’t change.

Do you know what the mte is based on, whether it’s trip 1, 2, lifetime mpg, or last x number of miles, etc. Mine is usually closer to 450 unless I’m on a road trip.

I’m not sure. I average close to 16mpg. 15.7 or 15.8 I think.

You’d likely get 12 in an R. So like 120 less/tank. Smiles per gallon though.

Smiles per gallon fade though, or at least it did with my TRX

How much do you typically drive? I don’t drive a ton, and when I do it’s on road trips so not routine mileage.

I’m contemplating the switch too, everything in life is always a trade off.

37x13.5 on street is wetardedly useless. Easy 1mpg hit just from those tires.
