Dude!

• Recession: When your neighbor loses his job.
• Depression: When you lose your job.
• Armageddon: When @2fast4u starts thinking about fuel economy.

That’s so Funny yeah you think it’s been from driving my GT 500 around every day getting 8 mpg

My wife consistently pulls 20mpg with her 2.7 Base Squatch.

I average 18.5-19.5 with my 2.7 Base (non-Squatch) rolling on 33s.

4dr Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 (5000 miles)

17 MPG lifetime
~14 MPG city
~19 MPG highway

Elevation also has a seemingly large impact and I've clocked this pretty consistently
Charlottesville (~600 feet elevation) to Richmond (~180 feet elevation): 19 MPG
Richmond to Charlottesville: 17 MPG

Same 65 miles, an almost imperceptible elevation change, 10% drop in fuel efficiency.

Anyone know the largest tire I can fit?

My 2.7L 4dr BL SAS has averaged 20.9mpg since new, no complaints.

2.7, 2 door Basesquatch I am doing very good- 21.6 average after 1100 miles. The average keeps going up. And I took it on it's first highway run this past weekend driving a steady 65 MPH and got about 22 or just over I estimated by the gas I put in. Even though with gas prices as high as they are 21.6 is not very good but to me good for what the vehicle is- and with 35" tires. I am pleased with the MPG, since I was expecting 15-17.

I have a 2dr sas bronco and I get 20.2 with the 2.7 with just under 10000 mi on her.

Running 35” Wildpeaks with the 2.7L and my onboard computer which I’m sure is not accurate, is showing 17.8 lifetime. It doesn’t matter as I burn more boat fuel in our 4 month boating season than I will annually driving 40,000 total miles together on our Bronco and Range Rover. FWIW, the Range Rover with 33” tires and the 3.0 Ford diesel powering it gets 29.5 MPG in mixed driving.

I have a Badlands 2.3 sas and im averaging 16.2. A lot of highway miles of speeds between 70 and 80. It really takes a hit at those speeds. I think it gets worse milage in eco mode.

Do you want slow with bad fuel economy or slow with bad fuel economy and be able to say "I have a v6 twin turbo under the hood!"

 

[Stache12]

I've only got 500 miles on but I am at 19.4 and still going up with the 2.7

1800 MILES Sasquatch 2 door 2.3 manual.....consistant 21.4....and I dont drive nice

 

[Ksjrb03]

14.9 lifetime average - 2.7. I drive like an average Texan, and don't get passed by 18 wheelers and grandmas like the rest of you.

2.7L Badlands SAS, Lux, MIC

After two tanks of gas and based on the fuel dispenser and odometer:

38.605 Gallons Consumed (Filled up using the same pump, and auto shut-off)
739.5 Miles Driven

MPG= 19.16
Instrument panel MPG shows 20.6

These are combined city/highway miles on concrete streets, flat terrain, near sea level, outside temps at 90 to 100 ºF with the AC set at 69 ºF and conservative driving.

My best guesses (sea level, flat terrain, AC cranking):

City ~ 17.5 MPG
Highway @65 ~ +22 MPG

 

[2fast4u]

Are we seeing much or any difference in mpg between the four-door bronco and the two-door bronco?
