20.1 average MPG showing on a 2.7L Bronco Outer Banks at dealer event

[Chief1301]

We'll be paying a $5 national average before too long not just you bud.

I bet gas is at least $7.00 a gallon in California by late summer 2022.

Unfortunately I agree , Fortunately I'm getting a 2.7 Badlands and don't give a Damn

why does the average mpg gauge only go up to 40 mpg? How are we supposed to know what our average is when we start cruising on the highway?

Probably because the only way you'd get near 40 mpg is to drive with the engine off.

I hate the speedo. Just seems like they lost interest when they hit the gauge cluster.

Looks like hell

And Downhill LOL

I love Butters!

Small turbo engines tend to get MPG that vary depending on how you drive.

Slow and steady you can get some really good numbers. If you lay into the boost all the time it will use a lot more gas to make all that power.

Revisited BN's older videos because I remember seeing different settings On the gauge..

So the secondary portion on the right CAN become the bigger more prominent window and there seems to be 7 different view options but not quite clear what 'calibration' can be done like adding a tachometer.

But here's a link, starts at 6:25

1966 lux package, less is more

I highly doubt gas will hit $5 anytime soon. It's currently averaging $2.87 a gallon.

As for the MPG shown, 20 MPG is exactly what I expected with the 2.7L in the bronco given the F-150 numbers. I was guessing 19 city/ 23 highway.

It's expected to go higher as the demand started to going up, Texas refinery were impacted by the winter storm and also because we need to buy crude to other countries while the US companies ramp up the production for those refineries that were knock down for not having demand during the pandemic. So yes, you might see a $3-$4 national average during this year but next year should go down again.

Hello again
While viewing Broncos in San Diego, I messed with the cluster to see what's there, it was cool but I couldn't help to not notice the 20.1 Average MPG!
While I have no idea how the car was driven but I am guessing no one bothered to reset it.

I understand that mileage is not a concern for a lot of people, but where I live, we will hit $5 very soon, having a decent 20 mpg is nice to have specially for someone like me who does 1500+ miles per month.

flat-towed to the dealership

how is 20 MPG decent ,that sucks

 

[pony2bronco]

People expecting >20 will be disappointed, but all the people saying Sas<12 are probably wrong too. If the Rubicon hellcat engine can get 14+ I'd bet Sasquatch at least gets 16

 

[Southern Girl]

I think the M is in a different position on my F150.

Let's nip this one in the butt

Bud. Nip it in the bud. Like a flower. It has nothing to do with butts in any way,

From a perspective of a small engine sedan driver, that makes sense. But if you drive 4x4 trucks you might think 20mpg is just fine.
