Talked to the guy at the WPB event, he said the OBX with the 2.7 got about 19 mpg driving down from Mich. He said that was driving it pretty hard. Now whether he's telling the truth, or what his definition of pretty hard is, I don't know.

How many total miles?
There are lots of idle hours on these new Broncos and the total makes a difference. Idle hours will skew the results of mpg pretty quickly. The more miles that get put on it in real world driving, the better it will probably get.

Exactly my thoughts these things sit idle and drive around the parking lot. No chance it's an average reading!!! They will be about 19mpg average

Where was it driven? At what speeds? What about idling? I can get 20 mph going 45 mph in my truck and 8 driving down my dirt road going 15-20 mph. It's really easy to get low mileage depending on the conditions you are driving in, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the same mpg all the time. With school zones, off road driving, faster rural highway driving, etc. I get about 16.8 mpg total. I can restart my meter at any time and get different results (17.8) on the weekend when I'm not in traffic or school zones.

This was a preproduction vehicle...... 1500 ish miles.

Also depends Sasquatch or not

Yes, but the kind of driving is what matters, not the total number of miles.

So 19 highway non sas. Not good. Sure you could have a heavy foot passing and messing around on the highway but that shouldn’t impact the numbers much.

again pre production lol no idea how it was driven.... nobody knows anything until Ford tells us what they are expecting.

I think it will be higher like 17-18 but we will see anything beats 7.8!!

Expected and pretty good with mixed driving on 35s. I typically see around 20 or 21 in a stock F-250 with a 2.7 mixed driving.

F-250 with a 2.7?

My 2005 BMW M3 Convertible regularly got this on average and required premium unleaded. This is a win for me.

I think it will be more considering this is pre production vehicle and probably that it was idleing all the time!!!

If that's one of Ford's show trucks I wouldn't put much stock into those numbers. If I had the job of showing these vehicles at dealers I'd probably drive the crap out of it, 'cause I ain't payin' for the gas.
