Manual Vs Automatic Transmission Mileage

[JNY]

I just got over 1000 miles with my 2 Dr MT Bronco Base. I was wondering what everyone else was getting with the MT or even Automatic Transmission. What tires size are you running? Post your pics.

4door Badlands - 7MT. 20.1 MPG on a 1760miles trip w/o using cruise control.

Idaho > California > Oregon > Washington > Idaho

use 55/60mph roads all the way to Washington.
then from Washington took I-90 which was lots of elevation gain and 70 MPH and still no cruise control.

Ended up with 20.1 now that all is broken in and have 2000 miles on it, i would think closer to 22 if did it again.

No cruise control as breaking it in.

“Your mileage may vary“
Seriously.
No two people drive the same.
Hills & altitude vary.
Weather conditions vary.
Amount of gear in the trunk varies.
Rolling resistance, construction & inflation of tires vary.
Exterior accessories vary.
The list goes on.

Basesquatch 2.7, automatic, soft top, 4 door with a 1" level. I average 17 miles per gallon and run 92 octane.

They say modern autos get better mileage than manuals now, and I suppose they should with more gears and steeper overdrive. It seems to be pretty much negligible in the real world when it comes to Broncos.

My 7MT gets around 18 Hwy at 70-75 and 22 at 60-65 and 17 city on 33s. When I have the 35s on that drops to about 16/18/15 respectively.

21.8 after the first 500-something miles. Stock BB 4DR, 2.3 7MT, 4.46 rear end, mostly on flat highway.

Wondering if a change of oil to Synthetic will add to the MPG.

If I went 4Dr that was going to be my build, "Base man squatch". Lots of value in that build
