Ran any unloaded tanks through it yet? I would be interested in hearing whats the best MPG you have got on a tank thus far. Im hoping for 23 with the 4x4.
Well see. I know what EPA rated it at, but im not buying it just yet. Id like to hear some first hand experiances.
Very sharp truck by the way.
Thanks

Man, I'm still on the 1st half tank I got from the dealership. I'm also not going to put much weight into the first tank or two. I did pull my boat for a fishing trip this past weekend as well. I'll get back on here and post when I think I've got some pretty representative numbers which may be next week.
I actually have a road trip planned this weekend where I'll be taking the truck on mostly highway. I'll try to do a reset before I leave on that trip and report when I get back.

I hate to stir the pot, but...
you guys should check out this thread over on raptorforumz, the computer might not be as far off as everyone is thinking; at least not for 2011 raptors (which I would assume carries over to other models).
I know everyone likes to bash the 'lie-o-meter' or whatever you like to call it, but I think its getting more accurate as time goes on.
Certainly nothing is as accurate as hand calculations for MPG's, but the computer is catching up..

Greg,
When you want to getter done, it's done
I just about got ran over when merging from I-95 to I-26 just after I got my 2010.
Once you get to 95 to 97 MPH that's all folks.
Stock and out of the box.
It is a very nice truck.

Mileage
Run time
MPG
Gallon Used
So far, that screen has been spot on for me.
My second gas tank has gone 18.7mpg. I would say about 60% of that is city.

that mpg looks very promising!
This may sound like a dumb question and it was asked in the raptor thread I posted; but does the computer calculate all those variables per trip or over the tank as a whole? I want to say it is the latter, but just thought I'd ask.
