The smaller tires and lower profile probably help. What would you consider your general driving style - lead foot or more moderate?

What are your typical highway speeds? I sometime see people in hopped up 4x4s, barreling along at 80+ mph. Those guys have got to be eating gasoline driving bricks like that.

I would say right in the middle. I don't hyper mile it and I don't drive it like a race car. Sometimes I have a lil fun with the accelerator

The road trip I averaged 24.5 was mixed between back road state/country highways and the actual freeway. I averaged 65-75mph most of the way with the occasional stop light.

Given current gas prices I alternate 93 and 89 between tanks.

Premium, locally that's 93 octane and I'm driving so slow that I'm getting passed by blue hairs like I'm sitting still. Thank God it's time pull the summer cars out of storage.

Holy smokes! I’ve got the same vehicle, but with the Sasquatch package. Best I get is 17.3 mpg on the highway. I drive in Eco mode unless I’m feeling frisky… Huge bummer the Sasquatch package makes a 7 mpg difference.

Yeah I mean, I didn't buy this vehicle with MPGs in mind.. but with premium at over 4.50/gallon, I can't help but be grateful for the MPG I am able to get with this setup.

I initially wanted to get some 33" A/Ts right away, but now I'm just going to ride on the minivan tires awhile. At least until it doesn't cost me 80$ to fill up the tank when I'm at +/- 1/4 tank..

using 91 only but I am getting about 15.6 MPG on a 2.7 BL SAS. so far have only been able to take it to the dirt once in 3 months of ownership. I'd say 80% local street driving and 20% highway.

at 65mph on the highway without a heavy foot, it will read about 19 mpg. but the moment I go to 75MPH it's about 15.5-16MPG. 85MPH I was getting about 14-14.5MPG

Edit - oh I tried Costco gas once (91) and noticed I was getting about 1.5 MPG less. For me at least, it seems to do best with either Chevron or Mobil gas.

I should have also added - mine has 3.73 gears and does not have 4A so it is always in RWD only which I'm sure helps a bit too.

 

[Fuzion2Bronco]

Ya thats what I was getting with the stock BLs tires as well.

I see in your Signature you have Wildtrack, is this Trim same as Sasquatch Config?
