Nice rims -what are they ?19.7 so far since new with a combination of interstate, secondary, city street, and "WTF are you doing here" mountain crossings. Currently at 2250 miles. There was also a lot of idling there too as it was cold as f**k here a few days and I started it remotely to warm up a bit.
2.3/auto on 2 Door Badlands/SAS with ridiculously heavy Fuel Blitz and Nitto Ridge Grapplers at about 107# per.

What kind of sorcery is this?!? In sport mode even23.1 MPG at an average speed of 70 MPH for 365 miles (on one tank in a 2 door with ~1 gallon of gas remaining). 2.7 Automatic.
18mpg.
If I drive it and get a little aggressive and , incidentally, have the top flipped back but the AC blasting (it's already hot in FL...) it goes down to 17.XX ... my old man took it on a trip last weekend and he drives the speed-limit exactly, and was mostly highway, and got it above 20mpg.

2 factors that made a significant impact on the fuel economy.What kind of sorcery is this?!? In sport mode even
1. Rims and tires - the stock OBX rims and tires are worth 2-3 mpg, compared to my Patagonia M/T's in 295/70R17.
2. Flowmaster Axle Back High Clearance Exhaust - Worth an additional 2-3 MPG, which was completely unexpected and very much a major factor in the ability to break 23 MPG at 70+ MPH.
BTW, that included a 30 min stop and go traffic jam due to a savage accident on I-10 in San Antonio during rush hour.
