I tried to get a similar sneak peek at the dealer event I went to, but it wouldn't turn on any of the accessories

This could be from a (gulp!) Sport. Ewwwwww!

Ha ha very funny. Love my Bronco Sport Badlands such a fun vehicle. But then I'm averaging almost 27 mpg after 4200 miles and much of that is off-road. Ford really did a great job on the Sport! I have a 'big' Bronco Badlands on order too but the BS Badlands is a blast!

My Sti is only getting 19 - 20 mpg of 93 octane. Both the Bronco and STi are much more efficient then my Chevy 2500 6.0 at 11 - 12 mpg.
Does the 2.7 recommend premium fuel for best performance?

What I have read is that it will run on 87 but if you put super (only 91 here in Kalifornia) the engine will respond to a degree. I'm very interested in a factory tune but only if it is 30 + HP not 5-10 then its nothing. I will put 91 in it anyway. 20 cents a gallon X 16 gallons= $3.20 more a tankful who cares I just spend 45k on what I hope will be my dream SUV

Squatched?

It was a Badlands on 33’s

Based on trip time that's averaging ~30mph. I'd imagine a lot of highway use mixed with a lot of idling.

Ford guy said it was running 75 mph on hey- they drove 4 hours to get there.

Deja vu thread gave me deja vu

It sounds pretty reasonable. My f150 with the 3.5 gets 18 highway with 34 inch tires

I'm selling my 13 jetta tdi to make room for the bronco when it's time, that car gets 40mpg average and I've seen 48 on the highway on a 2.5 hour trip... But I can't take that offroad, or take the roof off, or the doors, and it's zero fun to drive, and looks like a teenage girls first car... So yeah... I'd about mileage lol

18? Ok but..... Highway would be better for sure.
Like others already said, you don't know how it was driven, idled, etc, but one thing for sure if I was the Ford test driver I would be driving it like IT WAS STOLEN!! Betting 20-24 highway, 12-18 city.

Look up the fuel economy of the ranger tremor, then compare the two models and realize a BL or squatch with a 2.7 will almost certainly be worse.

Pause, be sad for a bit.

Then look at your dream bronco build, calculate additional fuel costs per year compared to your 20-24 on the highway prediction and realize it's worth it, totally worth it.
