I have had my 2 door 2.7 Sasquatch a little over a week now and I was so afraid of getting like 11-12 MPG. I am getting 19.5-20 around town. I think it will go up on my work commute as it is 40 miles driving about 53-55 MPH with very few stops.

Very impressive considering the 35" tires and brick in the wind design. It hauls too, just a light touch on the gas it picks up speed so fast. I have a base 2 door though- a little lighter in weight. I was initially concerned about performance but not at all anymore.

22 BD 2.3 auto, bone stock. First time through a full tank of 87 gas and I'm getting 18.6 mixed city/highway. That's probably going to improve as we move into summer and out of this Wisconsin April where I've been using the remote start quite a bit. Fingers crossed. Pretty happy with those numbers though.

3 tank average 20.4mpg.
Big bend 4door 2.3L Auto. I drive in suburbs ands some city - no highway but some roads with 50mph speed limit. Eco mode and cruise control seem to improve mpg.

2.3 Base non-sasquatch with standard OBX take off wheels and tires. 65% highway mostly below 70 mph with an average of about 22.5 mpg. Best mpg so far was on a road trip in the mountains 23.7 mpg. If I go over 70 mph, mileage drops considerably. Mileage also drops considerably in Sport mode around town (18.0 mpg). I have not found much difference between normal and Eco modes as far as mpg is concerned. Running premium gas.

OBX Non Sasquatch with the 4.27 locker. I am getting between 18 and 20mpg with mostly in town driving with some 55/60mph drives down the State Highway to the next town (10 minutes average). I assume the mileage will drop once I install my new wheels and tires and dump the Duellers.

Just for fun, I wondered if ECO mode actually helped my mileage on my commute. So, after break in period, I ran for approximately 1500 miles on normal, then 1500 miles on ECO (yes, I pushed that stupid OK button every time I started up). The results?

Normal mode, 1584.8 miles, 18.9 mpg
ECO mode, 1548.4 miles, 18.8 mpg

Some caveats. 2 Door OBX, non-sas with 2.7. Almost 100% commuter miles, my commute being approximately 13 miles each way, in a very suburban to urban environment (mostly stop and go in DC area traffic). MPG not based on actual gas consumption and mileage, but rather using the trip computer. I don't necessarily care about the trip computer's accuracy, but rather its precision, since this was to compare normal to ECO.

Could there be lots of reasons for this? Sure. But even taking a lot of variables into account, I would have assumed ECO would produce better MPG. Oh well. At least I don't have to push that OK button anymore.

There is that "up arrow" on your steering wheel- press it a couple of times to get your actual average MPG.

I know. It shows 16.8. I had a jeep and it was a lie o meter, about 3 mile off

So the Bronco lies because your Jeep did, LOL . Give it another 1000+ miles. Mine has been steadily going up.
