What someone is willing or will tolerate for sound inside any vehicle is subjective.
At 75mph I read between 71-72 decibels - which is on the higher end but is in no way harmful to your hearing. Leaks around the rear window that sound like little grains of sand are sliding past the weather stripping and into the cabin is far more annoying than the constant road/wind noise.
That 71-72 decibels can spike if riding next to or passing a semi.
For MPG - I'm pulling down 18.5 mpg in a BaseSquatch 2.3L 10spd running 36psi in the tires. Mixed freeway and city driving. That's hand calculated but only for 1.5 tanks. That being said, it involves all the driving I'll do on a daily basis. I'm almost through the engine break in period and I assume that number will drop significantly once I start to work the motor a little more.
I will say what has impressed me with freeway driving is how the bronco can go from 68mph to 75mph without moving off of 2,100 rpm. The turbo boost increases providing increased power at the same RPM and then bronco accelerates seamlessly.
