Real World MPGs with Sasquatch?

[gdgraph]

I know MPGs can vary a lot with driving type and on Wranglers/4runners people usually get way under what it says on the sticker. Curious to know what people are getting with the Sasquach since there's not a lot of data out there. Anyone get close to the 17 MPG that's it says on the sticker?

I am getting 16-17.5 depending on how I drive around town. On the freeway 17.5/18 is pretty average. Going over 70 starts knocking you down fast.

Do you live at higher elevation or in a hilly area of Cali???

I'm getting right at 17 mpg. All city driving so far and often including two remote start sequences each morning. So far I only have 938 km (582 mi) on the odometer so I expect it to get better.

350 miles BD 4 dr soft top - 18.2 so far. 80/20 city/hwy.

Update. 17.9 in town, 16.8 running 76-78 mph after 2700 miles

I'm putting Falken Wildpeaks on before leaving the lot. I expect 15-16mpg

Nope, I live in the northern most part of the valley.

I’m at 15.6 L/100 km - Maybe @Tricky Dick can convert this to “Beavers per 100 Hockey Pucks” for us on his abacus?

That’s with about a week and a half of driving. Also a decent amount of that has been in four-wheel-drive as well as remote starting it quite often and letting it idle.

i get 16 to 17 hasn't really changed 1500 miles

I am at 17 mpg combined with a little over 3000 miles. Straight flat highway around 18-19 mpg at 65-70 mph.

Whys is the mileage so bad on the Broncos- especially Sasquatch? I know it's a brick in the wind, etc, etc. It seems Wranglers are getting better MPG? (Other than 4xe, which is altogether different being a hybrid). Is it the drive train, engine efficiency, etc?

My 97 Wrangler gets around 17-18 and I am running 31" tires on it without proper gearing. I always thought it was just the gas guzzling six, brick in the wind and it's also a 25 year old vehicle/technology. I thought the 2.3 or 2.7 would be more of a modern, efficient engine?

My Sas with 2.7 is schedule to be built week of Jan. 17 and with my long work commute and weekend driving and with gas at a predicted 4.00 a gallon it's going to cost me at least $385/month. Sadly I might not be able to keep it- my income ratio has steadily dropped since the 70's- when I was able to afford driving 70's Broncos around......

I really wanted the Bronco for retirement........

averaging around 18.3, mostly city. Agree with others speed kills. I had a ton of seat time to mess with different settings, speeds, tire pressures and seemed to find 2300 RPM on the highway is the point where MPG starts dwindling (2.7 engine, 4 door).

18 around town

I’m getting 15-16 in my badlands sasquatch. I just drive. I don’t pay attention to RPMs, acceleration, etc. Doing that sounds terrible.
