Surprising MPG 2.7 Sasquatch 4dr

[AKBronc49]

So today was my first chance to take a little road trip. Temps were 18F to 25F. About 50 miles of highway 70-75 mph. Rest was 2 lane at 55-60 and up and down the mountain at 30-35 mph. In slippery mode going between 4A and 4H the whole time (I actually have not driven my Bronco in 2wd yet). I was very surprised when I got back to town and I was sitting at 18.5 MPG. I filled up on my way out of town to just see. I'm not light on the throttle so to get 1.5MPG above EPA numbers driving normal I was surprised!

Typically around town, remote starting in getting 12.5-13.5 MPG. That's verified by doing the math.

OBX, Sasquatch, 2.7, 4dr, MIC with 315/70R17 Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3's.

We just took a trip to Cali (Orange Co beaches) from Phx. Avg 16.8-17.1, per the display, running 80-85. It's probably a little bit lower than that hand-calculated but still better than my 2dr JK (both soft tops; BD 4dr).

Again, most of us didn't buy it for the fuel economy but it doesn't mean I want to be getting 10-12 mpg

side note: not bad numbers seeing in 4A and slipping tires!
