, and those ratings bounce up to 15/18/16 mpg. Those tires hurt you at highway speeds, but don’t do much of anything to change the ratings in around town driving. Whathurt your around-town efficiency is putting the 700 horsepower supercharged V8 under the hood. But hey, at least the city rating is still a double-digit number.. It’s as close to a wash as could be, but the Raptor R does take the win in highway fuel economy, as the TRX is rated at 14 mpg highway versus the Raptor R’s 15 mpg.
Comparing cost-to-run figures from the EPA is where the Raptor R stands out. The EPA predicts the Raptor R will cost $1,050 less in fuel over the course of a year than the TRX will — that’s how much the 1 mpg difference makes. That said, it’s hard to consider a $4,750/year fuel expense a win. To compare the R to the regular Raptor with the 37-inch tires, the R will cost an extra $950 to fuel for the year.
