Fuel economy - What will you be happy with?

[MadMan4BamaNATL]

Yes, but no on investing. price increase doesn't necessarily correlate to volume increase or demand. There will be a bump over the next 18-24 months as the economy roars back from COVID, but the outlook beyond that is gray.

Meaning, you'll need to carefully monitor when to off load investments in crude refining and with so many getting out of the refinery business, I consider it risky for long term investors (pensions, funds, bonds) because they can't quickly off load investments without tipping off everyone, and then you have a frenzy.

For someone like you or other individuals, I consider risk to be moderate. Battery tech and materials procurement companies are the places to put your money today for a 10-20 year investment cycle.

My 23 year old 4.0L XJ got 16-18... So Bronco should get over 20 regardless of the configuration.

Your XJ weighed quite a bit less, had smaller and narrower tires, numerically lower gearing and 80 less HP than the 2.3l and didn’t meet current emissions requirements It seems unlikely, based on my experience, but others will probably drive more judiciously than me too!

No expectations. Have the Tesla for commuting and for efficiency. Have the bronco for adventures.

hoping at least 20mpg especially since it looks like gas will be $4 a gallon by delivery time and probably about $6 a gallon within the next few years.

Fake news.

Fake news.

national average is at $2.88 now, up .25 from just last month. We haven't even hit summer driving season or the costlier blends yet. Hell, I'm already paying $3.65 a gallon for premium in the Vette. It's certainly not going to take a rocket scientist to figure out why it will hit that $4 milestone either.

Anyone notice this from the last Our Bronco Life video are these numbers real???

If real, much better than the 15 mpg I'm getting with my sport trac.

My commute is absolute hell for mileage, if it beats my Jeep I'll be happy. I pull down 10-12 in the winter and 14-16 in the summer. It's only 4 miles one way but takes ~15 minutes. So in the end it really doesn't matter to me since I drive so few miles a year, but a little more is always welcomed for those out of town trips and whatnot.

My '10 Raptor get 8-9 around town, so I'm going to be very easy to please.

 

[DeltaBravo]

I'd be thrilled with 17-18 combined, but I'm expecting around 15.

this is the realistic response

 

[lenitech]

I'd be happy with 15mpg with the 2.7 Sasquatch. It would mean that I'm driving a more fuel efficient vehicle than I am now.

LOL, this thread lined up over this one just now:

and a few spots down...

A 4 door 2.7 SAS @ 55 - 60 mph can get 19 - 20 one could hope . But honestly with twin turbos it's all about making it sing so 17 mph on a hot foot .

Good. Less traffic.

 

[Lilj4425]

1 MPG. If MPG concerns you, I would recommend a Prius instead.

 

[Big Boss]

My completely stock 2018 f150 with the 3.5 gets 18 combined. It matches EPA ratings exactly but I also drive like a grandma most of the time.

How much you use boost greatly affects mpg on these motors.

I would expect around 20mpg for the 2.7 in the Bronco. Less for badlands and less for for Sasquatch.

This ^ you can get the epa numbers or even better with these ecoboost engines. Requires very gentle throttle input and effort lol
