Are you stalking me?

I just did a run this past weekend from home (Georgetown) to just south of Fort Worth in mine and got 19.8 at 80-85mph. My 2018 F150 SuperCrew 5.0 V8 with Raptor tires gets the same. Sitting in stop and go, heavy commuter traffic with the Jag, I get 11-12mpg. Mixed highway and city is around 15-16. About what I'd expect given the way my engine is set up versus yours. The Jag is more fun, albeit louder than the F150 though...
