Bronco Raptor Gas Mileage

[Bukin67]

I went to the United by Bronco event at Sand Hollow, UT a couple of weeks ago and did the loop through Zion Nat'l Park and back at around 120 miles. I started my trip odometer when I left and was surprised to see my gas mileage when we got back at 19.8mpg. I was expecting maybe 16.
I wasn't carrying any cargo, and just me in the Bronco, 38psi in the tires. Not even 1000 miles on it yet. We did a complete loop, so there was no elevation gain/loss in the end.
Anyone else getting this kind of mileage?

Impressive and surprising. So much so that it seems somehow in error. Were you hypermiling ?

If your Raptor is like mine, the mpg it shows is overly optimistic. Mine when driven locally, roads are mostly 40 to 55mph country roads, it shows 17.5 mpg. Hand calculated is usually 16 to 16.2 mpg. Interstate it shows 16.2 and hand calculated is 15 mpg, this is at 75 mph. For a brick on 37" tires its not bad.

something is broken on your truck...... I get 14.5 with a tail wind. Same as my 6.2L V8 gen 1 raptor only with 12 gallon tank=260m range....AND most of my driving is open farm country.

It doesn't really make sense to me either, so I'm eventually going to double check it the old fashioned way

13 to 14 MPG maybe 15 with tail wind.
