Real-world MPG difference Badlands vs BadSquatch?

[st3v]

madbadsquatch, 7MT, yadda, yadda, yadda with ford performance tune and diet of 93 octane premium

21 mpg at ~2800 miles

Did the Ford Performance Tune improve your MPGs? And how are you liking the tune with the manual? I get about 19mpg with a BaseManSquatch.

Nice, I may have to get that. How are you liking the tune with the manual transmission? Any significant changes in Normal, and other modes?

Beautiful, another fuel economy thread.

That fact that it's a Badlands means almost nothing compared to it being a Sasquatch. I just passed 12,000 miles on my 2-door Base Sasquatch with 2.3 4-cylinder and have averaged a little over 20 mpg for the last 4000 miles. This includes a lot of off road driving. But I never go over 75 mph on the freeways (speed limit is 80 around here) and I'm always gentle on the throttle.

I take mine places like this:
