It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

They cannot get 6L/100km. My Suzuki gets 7L/100km. The new F150 raptor R is rated at 10mpg city (18L/100km).

My wife's Suzuki Grand vitara gets 9.5L/100km no matter how you drive it. It's insane to me, but facts are facts. Raptor might be a different beast but the rest of them are all pretty well in line.
I call BS on those numbers. Real world driving conditions would pump them up. And I highly doubt the people spending 100k on these are selecting eco mode and driving like a grandma.
The Raptors definitely are not for the cost conscious. 6l/100km is ludicrous even without the big engine and sport tuning.
I drive a ‘16 F150 3.5L Turbo (with the old 6 speed) and out in the country I might get 6l/100 going downhill, with a tailwind, in neutral. About the best I can do is 23-24 Mpg (10l/100km?) when I’m out in back roads in the country doing 45-50mph/70-80km/hr. But I live in a town with a ton of stop lights/signs and my long term avg is more like 17mph (14l/100km).
