This was a 33 mile run from Carlsbad south to the ranch cut off road almost 2 weeks ago. Must be the tires lol...

Well, looks like you just got fuel, and are going downhill. Slowly.
I can probably make my Lie-O-Meter show at least 30 mpg by filling up here and heading down.

The problem for me is that the altitude lost has to be regained to get back home. Then the numbers aren't so rosy anymore.

Well hate to bust you condom but read this and weep! The elevation between Carlsbad and the Texas border may be a few hundred feet.

So think of some other stupid thing to say next time lol.

This one included about 8 hours of idling, some driving around on the ranch in 4wd and some at 90 mph. Please feel free to comment just do not insert foot first!

I get ~14 on the highway in Auto mode using ACC at 75-80mph. around town is more like 9 because I keep it in sport mode to hear that sweet hellcat whine from the glorious twin screw supercharger. It’s a few less mpg than my raptor, but i knew it’d be a 30% fuel cost increase going in. With great power comes great thirst. But honestly the raptor didn’t get great mileage either, if it was high 20’s on the highway that’d be different, but only 3 mpg different to have a sissy power train that sounds like a dying armadillos is not worth it.

Hey you said it I just posted some data that pounded it in the sand. No big deal but facts are always better than conjecture. No big deal.

Tires only relate to top speed on the salt flats numbskull, not mpg. I feel like I’m teaching children organic chemistry sometimes.

That is because you are an idiot! I was running big HP 4wd trucks when you were crapping yellow!

Bambi said:

I mean, you’re not wrong. I am an idiot.

Sidenote: Who craps yellow? Thats a weird insult. Must only make sense to the elderly

BusaDave said:

Ok Hmmmmm how about I have forgotten more about tires than you will ever know? Is that one better--true but can you relate to it better?

Bambi said:

Yes, it makes more sense. I’ve never claimed to be a truck tire expert. I still want an explanation on your yellow poop fetish

It is a saying I have been familiar with my whole life. Babies tend to have a yellow/green excrement. Doubt you would be around babies with your aversion to settling down! hehehehehehe!!!!!

Sorry. Didn’t realize it was a joke only old people and dudes that couldn’t pull out of a driveway understood. Besides. Changing diapers is woman’s work.
