That's fantastic!
It must be downhill both ways to the mall! ;)
Hell, the nearest mall is an hour away. I live in the swamp.
But it is downhill...

Just completed 4867 mile trip through 11 states and computer said 18.7 I will use my on line tracker as well as hand calculate it too. One thing to consider is we never get the same fuel into the tank as the previous tank. The TFL guys fill up till the pump kicks off and then wait 30 seconds to finish topping it off. Some times I get a lot more gas in the cooler mornings than in the warm afternoons, into the tank. I am running at 39 psi and used 87 on the trip.

17.8 over first 650 miles, mix of hwy/city in normal mode with premium 91. Could get better if I could stay out of boost, but that’s not happening!

I'm averaging 20.1 on my BB Sas, 2.7 (mechanically identical to the WT). If you don't go nuts with the throttle on the 2.7 and stay out of boost they can get better than EPA estimates, and that was true with my 2.7 F-150 as well.

Here’s what I got on a recent trip to Indiana. 4 door BB non-SAS. I went about 75 or a touch under the whole way except for some construction zones where I had to slow down.

I still need to do a little more experimenting but it seems that Shell gas gets better mileage. Oh and I also calculate my exact MPG by hand when I fill up and it’s typically about 1 mpg less than what the computer shows.

My Dad averages 18.4 in the Wildtrak almost all the time - quite literally the definition of "average" - but I believe he has had a Highway trip or two where it was 20.X ... I don't drive it all that much but when I do it goes down to 18.0 or even 17.X ... I guess I enjoy the Turbo a little more ... :cool:

It's funny , we had a (brand-new-at-the-time) '98 Dodge Durango 5.9L V8 that I got to drive to school when I got my license, and eventually regularly.... it was a 16mpg/13mpg that could get down to 10 if I was busy slamming on the gas pedal and racing around ... but gas was not yet $1/gal so , just get more! $5 got you a few days worth of gas. Today it gets you a few miles worth ...

Yeah pretty much the same. Hand calculated 3 tanks to be 18.9, 19.7. and 19.3 respectively. Rock crawling for 4 hours dipped me to 11.3

Dunno how you guys are getting close to 20, WTH am I doing wrong?!? No matter city or hwy I get 16-17. Just completed a 800 mi trip from south FL to south GA and computer said 17 avg for the trip. I kept it at 75 mph 90% of the time except for passing.

4dr SAS BL 2.7 with 87 since I bought it. 🤷‍♂️

As a professional driver of 35+ years in an industry where fuel economy can make or break you I can tell you it's your driving style and skill that means 13 mpg versus 20 mpg. The 6g bronco is capable of 20+ mpg. A gas pedal is not an on/off switch, foot to floor 75,80 mph all the time is not only unsafe and hard your vehicle it will never get you fuel mileage. You don't have to drive like grandma Moses but don't try to be Mario Andretti either.

I haven't gotten any better than 15.2mpg lol. What driving mode are you in getting these numbers?
Probably a very conservative driving mode.
