Getting better MPG than EPA estimates on my BB 2D MT, anyone else?

[JT01]

I’m only 2500 in, but my worst tank was 90% city driving; calculated 20.5 mpg. My best is 23.8.. I’m getting over 27 mpg in expressway driving 60-70mph. Would be interested in comparing notes with others driving road oriented builds with MT. This reflects my normal driving / routes.

I'm almost 11k miles with my BB 7MT. Lifetime MPG is currently 22.5, I've gotten up to 27-28 on a few occasions on long flat highway drives. Almost always in sport mode, with tires inflated to 36 PSI cold.

I drive it like I stole it. Have no idea what my mileage is, but I can guarantee it's south of 20.

I also drive with a lead foot but I am averaging 20 mpg as for now

I have the exact same experience 5k miles in with my BB manual 2.3. Originally, I was all about adding 33's and such but now the gas mileage is so much better than I expected it to be I'm just keeping the stock tires and will probably only jump to 265 32's when they go bad instead of 285 33s. Really love how the thing performs in factory non-sas form as a daily driver.

For as quick as these Broncos are, the mileage isn't too bad.
I find I can get into the 20's at around 60-65 or so, it's a sweet spot, take her up to 80mph freeway speed and it drops off precipitously. I am ijust about EPA on average. We will see how it goes when the summer blend is available.
93 Sunoco didn't seem to make much difference. I might hunt down some ethanol free and see if that works better. Surely did in my old LR3....which got less mileage and wanted premium to do it. Almost a dollar more a gallon here for premium!

25 mpg on last tank (calculated). Infotainment showed 25.4. Nothing fancy just regular driving.

At 1200 miles, I’m getting 13.4 mpg. Still better than my 911.

I’m getting 14.2 mpg’s with my 7MT 2-door Badlands. Lifted for 37” tires, steel bumpers, winch, FlowMaster FX exhaust and ProCal 4. I fill up and I have 218 mile range.

The best tank on my BD 2dr 7MT was 25mpg, otherwise I average 20-21. 7k miles.
