The MPG (L/100km) gauge is hopeful at best. It is always 0.5 to 1 mpg better than actual. Take the miles divided by the actual gallons purchased (as long as it is a full tank) to get the real result
I actually did the manual calculations as I like to see how close it actually is. Sometimes was bit less and other times tiny bit more. I can add all the receipts up later that way I’ll have better idea. I know for sure once I hit the Canadian roads it’s gets worse. We don’t know how to build them at all in NB. Up and down as fast as they can over any elevations, not gradual grades. That or they are lying to us and giving inferior quality of fuel. Not sure, but I notice the exact same when I make the trip in my 3500 ram diesel. Always much better once I hit the USA roads.

what size tires did you have on the Bronco? bet they weren't 35's or even higher
Stock 315/70/17’s for this trip. So not technically 35’s around 34.5.

What gas were you running in it. 93 or 87? Great post.
I ran some of 87, 91 & 93. Didn’t notice any difference in mpg in either. I only run supreme here at home as the price difference is no where near the disparity as I find in the US. It’s only 25 cents per gallon more here where in most states it was 75 cents or more for 93.

apparently Florida is flatter :p
I drove from Orange, CA to Phoenix, AZ and back used cruise control 75% of the time
averaged 17 MPG 2.7 SAS Badlands HT 87 octane
Most of the trip was down from New England into the Carolina’s then florida only accounts for roughly 100 miles of interstate mileage. And certainly not flat in Pennsylvania through to North Carolina.

0.621371192 x 100
= 62.1371192

62.1371192 Ă· 0.264172052
= 235.214583562382

235.214583562382 Ă· (L/100km) = U.S. mpg

235.214583562382 Ă· (L/100km) = U.S. mpg
235.214583562382 Ă· 11.8 = 19.9334392849476
11.8 L/100km = 19.9334 U.S. mpg

edit: in all seriousness this is better mileage then i anticipated, makes me happy.

I thought Bob and Doug said years ago to convert you just double it and add 30

Just saw your trip posted. When you're in Sioux Falls, make sure you go to the Falls themselves. And while you're there, you should hit up a place called Taphouse 41. Little place in a strip mall that has great food. ROAM also is a good place.

https://www.taphouse41.com

Make sure you hit up WALL, South Dakato before you head into the Badlands. Great Bison Burgers and shakes/ice cream.

Thank you!!

I love getting ideas from others on places to go and things to see!

I'll be sure to hit up some of these spots..

We have been very interested in Flagler Beach ares for possible retirement - it has gotten so expensive here recently - so Why Flagler beach? - (I just got my factory pic yesterday and my OB is on its way)

We’ve been able to locate a house right on beach from Canadian owners and been going there for about 7 years and they give a good price still to rent. We looked at buying something for few months then renting it but yeah it’s gone up a lot. Seems like a nice quiet area and close enough to Daytona and st Augustine if you want to explore more. Stayed in ormand beach once and didn’t like that as much, too close to daytona for our liking.

I cannot get more than 16.2 mpg with my 2.7. That’s with both normal and eco and with a light foot. Sasquatch badlands. Very interesting..

Not sure? We generally only get 17-18mpg here locally but it’s 30 min trips back and forth so hadn’t been good gauge. This trip was a good variation to see, and I was pleased overall.
