Default Scab owners fuel range

I was just wondering how many miles your able to achieve per tank with the smaller scab fuel tank. Just kind of wondering real world range. I realize that driving conditions play a big part but just looking for rough numbers.
Thanks!

Tanks have nothing to do with SCab vs SCREW. Range has to do with engine and driving habits.

The 2017 Raptor Screws have the 36 gallon tank and Raptor Scabs have the 26 gallon tank.

Thanks guys. That's not bad range for the size of the tank and having to turn 35" tires.

Winter gas and around 18.1 that's nice. What type of fuel are you running? I will be happy with that.

My first tank was 87 w/10% ethanol. The last few have been 93 w/10% ethanol.

I feel like these numbers are very far off from mine. I have 2200mi on my SCAB, and I have a pretty heavy foot compared to you guys apparently. The average over the while life of my truck this far is around 14.5mpg. I really miss the 36gal tank on my last truck, and I find myself needing to fill up much more frequently in the Raptor. I have been running mostly 89 but a couple tanks of 93 FYI

I'm used to the 26 gallon tank. My 2011 FX4 and my 2014 Tremor both had 26 gallon tanks.
