So many factors that make any response an apples/oranges comparison:

What size engine? Plastic/steel bumpers? Winch? Full steel undercarriage protection? Gearing? Size/weight of tires? Etc.

And then even if you find a comparable build, most only rely on the computer calculation without ever adjusting AFE Bias. Don't trust the computer.

There is also a factor of driving style that can't be quantified. Some will drive like a grandpa and others drive it like they stole it. Eco-Boost - pick one. Want economy? Stay out of boost.

With all factors considered, don't compare to others. Comparison is the thief of joy. Just fill it up when it needs it and enjoy the ride.

My 2.3 10AT 2DR Sas gets anywhere from 14 - 25, pending a couple hundred determining inputs.

Bronco has the worst fuel milage of all same class and price range. If you need worse fuel milage need to step up to AMG Gwagon and large M SUVs.

I get 13 MPG on 93 Shell around town and 16-19 on highway in OBX w plastic bumpers and splash guards, 2.7, stock tire spec.

‘24 Big Bend 4dr, 2.3 automatic, 4.27 gears, MIC top, plastic bumpers, 2” lift on 285/70-17
20mpg

As mentioned, there are a LOT of variables when it comes to these things.

But for what it's worth, our BD SAS with 2.7 averages about 20.1 in the summer, and 19.4 in the winter, almost exclusively rural highways (55 mph) and small town surface streets (25-35 mph). It's a brick, when it gets on the expressway at 70-75 mph it won't get over 17mpg without a stiff tail wind.

And then there is the B6G Reading Comprehension factor.

our trip to the OBX & lots of 55mph roads i was getting 22-24.

with the extended idling and COLD weather now im getting 15-16. no remote start on our 7mt means that 15 min of warming time counts towards mpg though. so im guessing its still closer to 18.

i was getting 19 in my 2.7 4dr, but the smaller tank in a 2dr is rough sometimes.

expect less than 300 miles per tank.

Typically I average about 20-22 with a 2" lift and 285/70/17 SL tires on my 3.73 geared 2.7 with FP tune.

Back when I was running my 30" highway terrains and no lift I could pull 28-30 mpg at 55 miles an hour.

13 seems very low.

Tradfic light hell thanks to "traffic calming" and "pedestrian saftey" and "no right turn on red" plus a heavy foot. Its literally faster to get accross downtown in the alleys now shaving 70% in transit time LOL.

I have a 25 Raptor and generally get 15 mpg highway, but occasionally going on a long trip (500 + miles) I will do much better, see photo, 76 mph and still hit 18 mpg.

Yeah. You got me . Hey, I’m still asleep

I never look. I drive a Bronco.

 

[Bikeric]

Badlands 2-door 2.3/7MT on 37's with Procal4 = 16-17 mpg's. I fill up the tank it says 260 miles to empty. 16mpg's is usually in the Winter and the 17mpg's happen in the Summer. I figure that's due to "winter" gasoline because I don't sit in my manual Bronco to warm it up, I just roll out.

I'm just poking fun. Just watch this thread throughout the day and you'll see that you weren't the first. Right above your reply is a Raptor owner. Like moths to a flame...
