On 93 Octane:
Mine is pretty subpar.
14-15 City, if I am lucky.
21 Highway
2.7L 2-door, non-sas 33"s KO2s
I also try to drive in ECO mode a lot. Doesn't seem to help much.

The tire size makes an extreme difference in MPG. My stock OBX was getting 20.5 MPG. I switched out to 33" KO2s and i now get 17.5 MPG. I think the bigger the tire the lower the MPG. And i'm ok with that!

I’ve got the 4.7 gears. Probably makes a difference.

just https://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/bronco/2021?page=2 and get actual numbers, not people who chose to read off a single computer estimate over an undetermined distance.

17.9 on the cluster. 2200 miles of mixed driving. 91 octane 2.3/auto BL SAS at 6700 feet. Lots of idle/warm up time. it was 8 degrees this morning.
I feel the same way, 2.3 manual base upgraded to the black diamond steelies with all terrain tires that come on those. I think I went from 30 in to 31.6 in roughly.
I haven't been pushing the Bronco hard because I'm on the at first thousand miles, 65 on the highway, not going super high on shifts, etc. The best I've really seen is about 18.6 miles per gallon per the dash and per my hand calculations.
I run regular gas and I try to stay on the Eco mode. Most of my driving is done in rural Georgia so a lot of two lanes running about 55 mph.
I know most people will say well don't buy a Bronco for miles per gallon, but I did expect the EcoBoost to do a little bit better.
One thing to consider is that you are losing some mileage on your odometer due to increased tire size. A quick calculation I did was that something like 2 in increase entire diameter is 5% odometer loss, but do your own math mine might be off. That could potentially add a couple miles per gallon.

I assume vehicle doesn't even get up to temperature?
Does that concerns you?
My wife's commute (the Bronco will be her daily) is 1.7 miles and the Wrangler barely gets to temperature in the winter. I change the synthetic oil once every 3k miles to make for the additional gas and water in the oil.

Still waiting on my bronco, but will share an experience with the 3.5 eco boost that’s in my 2013 flex. I did an axle-back exhaust system (from MRT)plus a tune (from unleashed) and my mpg increased substantially! I knocked 1.5 seconds off my 0-60 times, BUT when I didn’t hot-foot it my mpg was also remarkably improved - as much as 2mpg at non-highway speeds which makes sense when considering turbo performance at lower exhaust gas loading. I would expect the same phenomena with the twin-turbo eco boost in the bronco, and am planning to do the same.
