I noticed significant increase in fuel consumption in cold weather. Have 2 door 2.3 automatic with Sasquatch and run premium no ethanol fuel. Since cold weather the actual fuel economy is 15.2 overall on three tanks of fuel. The computer shows over 17 but the actual calculation is 15.2. Performance is fine but uses more fuel than my 4x4 F150 with a 5 liter V-8. I would guess that the Sasquatch is the culprit due to rotational mass of the tires, and the gearing, along with winter blended fuel. Add to that the aerodynamics are not the same.
I like the Bronco but expected little less fuel consumption.
