I was with a bunch of Broncos Saturday. Mileage of the couple of people that mentioned it is between 15 (SQ 2.7 4dr) and over 20 (BD 4dr 2.3 manual mid). I have a 4dr Badlands 33” KO2s 2.7 MIC top. 18 overall average. You can get 20-21mpg if you keep it in the low 60mph range (my cabin drive has about 40miles@55mph). It is a brick and gets hammered by wind and tire resistance. 80mph=16mpg or maybe a bit less. Seems like SW costs between 1 and 2 mpg, as expected.

Buddy with a (rare) Silver Base 2 door 7 speed is getting 17.1 MPG in mf eco mode yal. Consistently. And THAT, my friends, is why I went 2.7; same mileage. More ass.

I'm about 19.5mpg in my first 800miles on my 2.7 and seems to be rising. My 2.3 manual badlands was 21mpg with zero offset wheels and Toyo Open Country CT tires. They weighed about 8lbs more per wheel combo than the regular rim and the bfg's. I've yet to weigh the optional wheels in the new badlands.

Badlands with 33’s. 18.9 mpg currently.
I’m getting 19.8 mpg on my 33inch badlands 2.7 thru 2800 miles. Mostly highway, but significant off pavement driving as well.

20.7 on my 33 inch Badlands 4-door 2.7 through the first 2500 miles. Happy I skipped SAS and got the optional wheels. Mostly highway and mix of Eco and Normal modes.

Would help if we could get a couple of members that have a Badlands and a BadSqutch to post their MPG numbers. Would help tell how much the 35" tires and rear drive ratio impact the real-world numbers. Is it thee 1-2 MPG drop everyone guessed it would be?

Thanks
I have a BadSquatch. I’ve only filled it up twice so far, but here’s the limited anecdotal data I can provide:

* Tank 1, Trip Computer: 17.8. Actual: 17.3

* Tank 2, Tripi Computer: 18.3. Actual: 17.6

Note: This is with 87 regular fuel. I’ve been driving in Eco mode. Yeah, I know that may make some cringe. But I’ve been primarily puttering around town since I’ve had my Bronco for a week. This cycle, I’m primarily in Normal mode, so we’ll see what the average is then.
