MPG - what is yours?

[NewBroncoOwner]

I get 1776 Budweiser per bald eagle.

I honestly don't know why some purchase the bronco for gas mileage. I am going to have to drive it, so ill have to live with the decision of buying a fun car, rather than a practical boring car.

17.2, Reg. Mainly town driving. Zero flat road driving.
2.7 BD 4D.

Ya, not much 'flat' in New Hampshire LOLOL1!!!!

Any additional weight will lower your mpg. Having been a part of the hypermiling groups awhile back. It was a phase. Anyway. Decreasing weight was the first thing you do. Some guys would even throw out all the unnecessary seats and passenger stuff.

Good stuff! Planning on the rear seat delete from Goose Gear. With Badlands having two locking diffs and a swaybar disconnect, I'll need to drop some weight. Either way, my mpg will definitely be better than my 2007 Tacoma or my 2002/2009/2012 Tahoe's were...

I didn’t buy it for the gas mileage. It’s just a discussion. However I think your one of the type that can’t really have a discussion without it being all about you.

with a more fuel friendly tire.

It's crazy how much this helps. I'm running some very light, very mild AT 285/70/17s right now and my mileage went up about 5 across the board from the 315s I had on before.

4-door BB 2.3L manual, everything stock, lots of highway but try to keep it under 120km/h (~75mph?). The computer is saying 9.8L/100km but I'm hand calculating ~10.4 (22.5mpg).

That sounds like what I'd like to move to - what are the tires?

2 Door Sas on 37s 14.5mpg hand calculated

Badlands Sasquatch v6 2 door - 14.5mpg at 1,100 miles

When the leadfoot wife brings it back from running around town, it dips below 18 and takes me a hundred miles to bring it back up

With a turbo engine, it's probably less of a lead-foot than jackrabit starts. I get 3 mpg better in my wife's F-150 than she does. She seems to think the accelerator is an on/off switch.

2D Non-Sas Badland 2.3 MT and get 20mpg around 70ish - over 75 and I get 17mpg

I'm glad I didn't Sas after seeing y'alls MPG numbers.

I daily drive my stock FE. So 2.7L SAS. I live within walking distance of my work so my driving is essentially 100% city stop and go.

I consistently get 14.9 city.

I have gotten anywhere from 20 to 25 on highway only trips depending on speed.

On this current tank, I'm almost at 24 MPG. Never would've thought it would happen with the Bronco honestly.
