Counterpoint, I've found it to be accurate within 0.5 gal whenever I compared to hand calcs.
Drive below 70. Makes a huge difference on the sas. I can get close to 20 running in the mid 60’sI know if you have a bronco you generally don't care to to much about gas mileage.... But what if it was easy to get a bit more out of it? Wouldn't you want to maximize what you could with little effort? This is what I tried At least before I go ruin it all again with the lift. Lol.
So before. Running 33-34 psi in my tires, (Toyo Open Country CT and fuel Shok wheels, about .7lb heavier than the badlands optional wheels that came on it.), And the stock air filter. Running usually around the posted speed limits. Normal driving. 17.8 mpg was my average over about 2500 miles.
The changes, added 5 psi to the tires. Now 38-39psi. Changed out my air filter to the Whipple high flow one, literally easiest filter change ever. Did the tires about a week before changing the air filter this past Saturday morning. Still driving the same if not a little faster on avg. Now averaging 20.2 mpg this month so far.... So I'll keep tracking. We'll see what happens now that gas prices are suddenly shooting for the moon. I'll probably drive nicer and more conservatively as well. Lol
What have you guys done, if anything?!
Still waiting for that photo with over 100 miles on the trip of this 28mpg
Same, even less variation, although I stopped checking after 2 tries yielded the same less than 2% variance.
base4dr w 30 inch base tires haha
Who said anything about a 100 mile trip. This is literally just the 40mile highway stretch of my commute. Cruising steady. When I do 80 or above I've gotten as low as 14mpg over that stretch. If it's nice temps and I got a semi trailer to draft behind, I've managed 28mpg over that stretch of the trip.
Oh so super repeatable
Well just finished a tank with eco and auto stop on. Cruise control as much as possible and coasting. It made a difference. This tank got 25.6 mpg on the on board computer and hand 25.55 calculated. Mobil 89 octane. Went 424 miles on this tank, usually in the 350 range. Had I ran it down to E would have eclipsed 500 miles for the tank.
Noice. I'm getting a bit better mileage this tank after my first oil change. To amsoil... It was even better then I couldn't resist stepping on it and putting in in normal mode for a couple days.... But still over 20mpg this tank. I'll try harder next time I promise lolWell just finished a tank with eco and auto stop on. Cruise control as much as possible and coasting. It made a difference.

Yeah I didn't really change the way I drove to much accept I did accelerate a bit slower lol. Still had the top open like 3 or 4 days last tank
I’ve seen two independent sources showed eco mode reduced fuel economy by about .5 MPG
