Nothing eco about it lol. My '13 F150 Ecoboost gets 12.2 MPG.

it was a typo.. 1500 mm to E aka 15 meters to Empty.
Actually, i'm pretty that the GPS distance to the destination as the crow flies (1500 miles to Dearborn)

If you mash the gas pedal all the time, naturally mileage will plummet. But if you drive it lightly, they get better mileage - the EB motors are more affected by throttle input in this regard.

Yep. Throttle lag sucks!

On the Ford website. 2-Door 16.9 gallons and 4-Door 20.8 gallons. That is a bummer. My FJ Cruiser held 19 gallons and that wasn't nearly enough. Betting the economy rating with be in the neighborhood of 16mpg city and 18mpg highway. Going to be lots of fuel stops.

FJ mpg is very bad, but yes 16.9 gallons is a small tank for such a truck .. this is one of the reasons i may go with the 4 doors although i really love the 2 doors but it's very soon maybe well be after market bigger tanks in the future !
I was hoping for 20 gallons at least .

I am not expecting the Bronco to do any better on fuel economy than the FJ. Aerodynamically they are very similar. Weight is pretty close. The FJ final drive ratio is 3.72. The Bronco 4.70. Hopefully the Bronco 10-speed can make a big difference.

It would be nice if the 30 gallon tank was an option like on the F150

I'm hoping Ford has made some progress with their turbo vehicles. I had a 2 door wrangler with 35s and would get about 12-14mpg. This is why I'm not going Sasquatch. Looks great but I do too much driving. 33s are about the biggest I'd want.

Wow, you’ve got to be pushing that thing hard all the time.

My 2018 F-150 with the 3.5EB gets ~16 around town and ~20 on the highway. I’m usually averaging 17 MPG and that’s not with babying the throttle.

i feel like this is a good description of turbo lag

My Wrangler with 33 inch tires gets about 12 miles to gallon. I'm sure Bronco will be better than that, but I don't expect great fuel economy from the Broncos.

Whoa.
My wrangler with 34’s and a ton of extra weigh in and on gets 16mpg with a light foot.
(I swapped out to 4.10s)

I've got quite a few accessories on my Wrangler too and your Wrangler looks to be at least a few year newer than mine (I have a 2001) so it makes sense you'd get slightly better MPG than I do. Either way, the MPG isn't great.
