The Coyote can be ridiculously fuel efficient for a 5L V8 engine but it's pretty easy to deteriorate that number...quickly, after a Duffey Lake Road run to Lillooet it will not be the same result.
The funny thing is that my '18 WRX STI with a 2.5L engine was averaging 9L/100km on the same commute, the Coyote is double the displacement and delivering similar fuel economy. That being said, the EJ motor in the WRX is a dinosaur of an engine, known to deliver crappy fuel economy.
