2.7 Gas Mileage - 11.2 MPG!?!

[Stu baby]

I have a standard 2.7 OBX 2dr and have not made any changes yet. Just got back on a trip to Alabama from NC. Average mpg was 24.9 going and 23. 7 coming back .
Previously had been getting around 17mpg. Still has less than 2k miles on it

WOW! My Wildtrak gets 15 at best. Can I ask what mode are you driving in? For me there is only Sport which could be my problem. I've been told to drive like the police are behind me......I do and they are chasing me

Lol,I dont have a wildtrak but I know driving anything over 65 blows up the fuel mileage bad. Have not found that eco vs sport vs normal changes much. But a heavy foot will. Also found I do not enjoy driving my Bronco trying to get 18 mpg vs 15 mpg. Either sucks, and I knew that buying this brick. Plus there is absolutely no flat roads in my area that I drive. I wouldve bought a Prius if gas mileage was “top of mind”.

I don't know how some get so low figures.
On my "Trip 1" I have about 9000 miles of city, highway, including hundreds of off road miles and lots of mountains driving and I have 17.8mpg on the 2.7. That's with a roof rack, and about 1500 miles with a RTT on it. Also about 4000 miles at max weight capacity....

Pure and simple some people have poor driving habits.

Mostly Normal mode. And it seems the faster I go the better gas mileage I get. Was going 70+ on the other side of the mountains . Back home and mostly in town I’m still getting around 17 or so . Can’t tell any difference in mileage driving in Eco mode
