Real World MPGs with Sasquatch?

[Monstertorch]

5 days into ownership, just shy of 300 miles, just filled for the first time this afternoon… 14.5mpg for our first tank… that’s a combo of city, highway, and sand dunes

18.4 mpg with 2200 miles (50/50 city/highway)
First Edition with 2.7 & stock 35’s

So maybe 17 on 35's is not so bad given all that tire resistance although even the Broncos on the smallest tires gets only about 20 MPG.

I was getting 21+ in my Base non-Squatch with the tiny P255s that were on it originally. That dropped dramatically when we went to the 33s.

I think a lot of fuel economy also comes from the super light weight Goodyear Territory tires. If you look at the weights of other tires in the same size they are a lot heavier. Everyone changing tire brands will probably see a 1-3mpg hit.

With 12.50 x 17" Ridge Grapplers and KMC Roswell's I gained about 15 pounds per corner. The Nitro's are about 1/2" taller, although they are 35's.

So far I have not sustained a noticeable MPG hit. But I've haven't driven it much and nothing on the freeway yet. In LA I'm at around 13 mpg, which is what I was with stock wheels/tires. I may not be able to actually tell if I suffer a 1-3 mpg hit just simply due to changing driving conditions. Also the small increase in OD of the tires will have an equally small impact on MPG. But everything adds up.

Averaging 16-17 mpg in a 4-door Badlands Sasquatch soft top. I agree with other posts that the higher speeds reduce mpg. I guess I should just take my time and enjoy the ride (with the top off).

My badlands with Sasquatch is setting at 19.5 right now. I haven't reset the unit since it was gassed up for the first time by me. I currently have 1,975 miles on it. Most of driving is around town at 45-60 mph with a few hundred miles at 70 mph.

I’ve been getting about 15.3 in city and 16.5 mixed

17.8 average after about 2K miles. Sasquatch Badlands with 2.7l. I use 87 octane since new and drive in stop and go five days a week. It’s better than my Ram 2500 with 37’s but that’s not really saying much. Also the eco mode is less efficient then the Normal.

17-19 I live in fairly hilly terrain. Speed over 70 really kills mpg.

21 fe 4 door. 14 to 16 mpg town driving depending upon how many traffic light stops, drive thru restaurant stops, etc.

16 to 16.5 hwy, but haven't made but two road trips and just now at 1200 miles so hoping that improves a bit with time and more breaking in of the motor and transmission.

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?

15.7 2100 miles

I started with 13.5. Dealer said the bronco needs to acclimate and to give it time. Also noted it had been really cold out… I am now getting 14.5 tops. Really disappointed!!!! Where did ford test these and get the validation? Going down hill, with the wind in the middle of the country on a cloudy 70 degree day? I’m in MN, relatively flat, and yes it’s cold but MI isn’t that different and I have never seen much of a difference in fuel economy with any of my vehicles in any temp -40 to 105…

Wow!! Hope mine gets that once it gets fully broken in!
