Fuel economy - What will you be happy with?

[LMB]

My 2016 Wrangler is between 19 and 21.5 depending on winter/summer driving. I have 32 BFG tires on it.

I expect about the same from my Black Diamond when it gets here.

I'm not judging! The 2.3 has more juju than my Vic and I have never juiced it above 3k. But what do I want? The 2.7 -- I'm so stupid.

Well, I'll have a TT and plan on step in on it.

I'm buying the 2.3L with a manual transmission. I'm expecting 20 MPG. It's the price of gasoline that I have concern about, not the Bronco fuel efficiency. One is dictated by physics, the other is not.

All numbers are for 2.7: I’ll be happy with 17 combined. I’d be ecstatic with 19-20 combined.
This just in... I will be happy with 15 combined, because I’ll be driving my Bronco!!! My Bronco is about going places and making memories, I’m not going to dwell on mpg with the top off, blasting music and listening to my daughter giggling next to me. Cowboy Up!

My 23 year old 4.0L XJ got 16-18... So Bronco should get over 20 regardless of the configuration.

Y’all are crazy... 4500 lb vehicle on 35s? Shoot I’d be happy with 16 mpg combined

Not what do you expect, but "if I get at least [x], I'll be satisfied/happy". Talking calculated from the pump number, not the indicated.

On the 2.7L, I think 18-19 would be satisfied, and 20 would be happy. You? My Mustang got 15mpg, my truck got 16, so 18-19 would be a nice improvement.

What year mustang bc you must drive it like you stole it haha. My 07 had 4.10s and the 5r55 transmission and I still got around 23 mpg hwy lol.


I'd be happy to get 20+ with the bronco. My daily commute is 95% highway for 50 miles a day

If it gets the same as my ‘17 taco I will be damn happy..
17-18 mpg would be just fine

20

My '12 Mustang gets anywhere from 25-28 (3.7l)

So factoring in for the added weight and boxy shape of the Bronco, I'm gonna go with I'll be happy with 25-28 for the 2.7

Never happen in a million years, I'm more or less hoping for 20-22 but figuring 16-18 with the Squatch package.. Which isn't much better than my old FSB's that got right around 13-15 running 35's with a big old V8 (and 4 spd) ! But that's OK cuz we know how people here like to bash the V8

Fuel mpg is subjective.....the fun and the looks we're going to get while driving it will outmatch any disappointment I'll have with the mpg

 

[BennyBronco69]

I'll be ok with 15-16
Happy with 1-18
Joyous with 19+

Its in the link. '16 GT (Coyote). And yeah, I drove the shit out of it. And mostly in town, which didn't help. 14.9mpg on 14k miles.

My current vehicle I average 32 so anything here will be a bit of a shock to my system. Hoping to be at 20 but the BL is a big gal

I think it will be far better than 16 MPG. My 5,200-pound H3T has 33" with the 5.3L and crappy, dumb 4-spd auto and it's lifetime average is 15.8 MPG. A turbo 2.7 V6 with a modern computer-controlled 10-spd auto has to get better than 16 MPG.

My 2 cents.
