The Raptor made the list as one of the worst gas guzzlers this year!

Thats a stupid list. Who cares the near $200k LFA doesnt get 30mpg, much less the million+ veyron.

Ford is still leading the way in new model ideas... Too bad G.M does nothing but cut models rather than add new cool ones....

Yup, I doubt anyone who is driving a veyron worries too much about fuel costs

I wonder if they are talking about the Cummins Ram that is actually in that picture, or the gas one that would be completely retarded to buy anyway. The diesels get like 25mpg. Gas mega cabs like that can't even get out of their own way...

It's funny. I just got my new 4WOR and they had a 1 year wrap up of a Raptor. In the article it said they managed to every now and then get 19 mpg if driven old man style.
Daily driving=15 and towing they got 12. This was with the 5.4.
