Real world MPG

[Monster1926]

Attached Below is the mpg I observed on a trip (from Youngstown Ohio to Fort Wayne Indiana) in my 4 door Sasquatch 2.7. The beginning of the trip had some elevation changes going through the Ohio valley until you reach the west side of Cleveland, after that is pretty flat. I had cruise set at 75MPH (70mph speed limit) the majority of the way until I got off of I80 west then I set it to 69 MPH in the 65 Zones. The trip to Youngstown was horrible, I was averaging 14.3MPG due to a nasty 20-30mph headwind. The return trip was much better and around what I expected. While I was on 80, I counted 7 big broncos on the way to Youngstown and 10 big broncos on the way back to Fort Wayne. Before anyone brings up mpg and a Prius if I really cared I’d be driving my 55MPG TDI. Just giving some in-site to people who maybe on the fence due to the oil companies gouging everyone.

Mine only has 1000 miles on it but I’m sitting around 19 mpg for several tanks now.

Four door badlands, Sasquatch, 2.7 and 93 octane.

I’ve been running 91/93 which ever is at the station. The numbers are pretty good considering it’s a brick on 35s.

I agree, a solid 2 mpg better than my 3.6 Rubicon on 35’s with a more powerful, larger, heavier vehicle.

The 3.6 in the Jeep does only require regular fuel so the actual cost is pretty close to a wash.

I have 13k on the odometer. Since day 1, I have averaged 18.9 mpg (combined). I have a 2 door 2.7. It is amazing how strong winds beat down your mpg. I usually average between 18-20 mpg on highway/interstate driving. I went on one trip and fought strong winds. I averaged 15.3 going 60 mph.

I have a 2.3L Sasquatch and I've seen as high as 24 when not going too fast. In fact, driving from Boise to Salt Lake City not exceeding 70 mph, and with a slight tail wind, I was at 24 until I got off of the freeway. Overall mileage for more than 1700 miles down to Moab and back, including a bunch of off road stuff down there, was 21.3 mpg. I don't think I've seen under 19 on a tank including around town driving.

A little more than 600 miles on it, average of 20.3mpg so far.

I have a big bend(2.7) with 35x12.5's wrapped around some black rhino chambers. this wheel/tire combo weighs roughly the same as the wheels on sasquatch models per my research. I'm getting around 17mpg on the screen(haven't adjusted for tire size up from my stockers yet). I live in Tennessee so we got a decent amount of hills/etc. judging based strickly off the tire circumference being 9 percent more I am probably getting 18.5-ish mpg so. I know it's not quite that simple but I'll be revisiting this once I get my laptop outside to adjust tire size with forscan. overall I'm happy with these numbers. i have a 2015 f150 with 2.7 and 35's and I'm lucky to get 15mpg with it.

I have about 760 miles on my Bronco with 2.7L. I have been getting 15.1 MPG.

Similar numbers here in my 2.7 basesquatch at 14.7 mpg 900 miles in on 93 octane. I've done some highway driving (this always improves things) but mostly city. Not sure if the city driving is killing the average that others are seeing, but no idea how these guys are around 20 mpg.

Hand calculated or just going on the computer? I do see you're in eco mode.

I have left it in normal mode (until 1st oil change @ 1k miles) and have about 650 miles on the clock right now. I'd say maybe 75 of that is highway miles and I've had it in 4L twice just to drive up a hill to see if it would engage.

My first fill up the screen said 18.6mpg and the hand calculated average was only 16.97mpg.

The second fill up today (where I felt I pushed the engine ever so slightly harder) the screen showed 18.4mpg and the hand calculated average was 18.16

If I get 17.5mpg that's dead on in line with the combined mpg so I can't complain.

That's running 87 too.

I was able to get 26 mpg over 30 miles on rolling backroads! Barely breathing on the throttle, in Eco mode, went between 30 and 48 (downhills). I was shocked since I'm at 20 most of the time for mixed driving, 65-70 on highway. 2.7L 4 door Black Diamond, 32-in stock tires at 37 psi cold. 87 octane gas. I did this as a round trip, same road so any elevation effect was averaged out.

I see a lot of other people driving slow also for some reason.

You post any pics of your set up?

 

[Kygolfer]

I definitely believe you. I get better mileage than most people post on here. I guess I’m just easy on the pedal.

Idk but that mileage picture I posted above was probably 80% City driving. Very little hwy but there does not seem to be a big difference in between Hwy and City mpg on personal Bronco.

I’m a little over 1600 miles now on mine and have two tanks that I went over 400 miles. The light was on but just barley. I think one was around 415 and the other 405 before the fill up.
