Real world gas mileage

[Sidewinderx1]

I recently ran down and back up the 101 in Oregon at a relaxing pace. Was pleasantly surprised with 18.7 (computer) and an actual of 19.26 (speedometer is off .03% due to tire size). She doesn't like 80mph down the freeway though for mpg.....

2024 2dr 2.7, 10spd, 35.5" M/T Baja's, Flowmaster exhaust, 4.46 ratio

that’s decent since your tires are almost 20lbs heavier each vs stock.

After FP 2.7 ProCal, got 19-20 doing 50-85 with some WOT passes on a low wind day, in Mountains at 4000 ft elevation and 53F.

Non-sasquatch with sas wheels/tires. 2.7l with FP tune. Shorter trips and remote start almost every time, so average 14-16mpg in the winter, 16-18mpg in the summer. Roadtrips, 20-22mpg.

I've only put 3000 miles on my 25 Badlands 2.7 but the mpg readout has always hovered around 22-24 for my mixed use, until today on a 100 mile mostly highway drive I see it's reading 19 and sticking to it. I don't know if either of those numbers are accurate. That's a little disconcerting, has anybody else see that much variation suddenly with their consistant, typical, driving? Or know of a possible cause that I haven't noticed?

You need to actually calculate it over several tank fulls. Reading the projected number is a ballpark number. And a big ballpark at that. There is an App called fuelly that works pretty well and is quick and easy to get accurate numbers. 19 is probably even a bit high.

Headwind, wouldn't take much.

Exactly!

Just got 21.5 MPG over 500 miles with 2.7 FP tune, 93 octane, 3000-8000 ft altitude, Rocky mountain highway, approx 7F, 70-75 MPH cruise with some WOT 96+ MPH passing, Blizzak DMV2 at 36 psi.

FP tune helped.

So what mileage are you guys getting on a 2 doors.

Mine is a 2023 Badlands 2 door Sasquatch 2.7 auto. I found using 93 octane at Costco gas only I get a very consistent 20 MPG...and that's even with me hammering the gas and the turbo boost up to 18psi...occasionally. I do have 35k on it so I'm guessing it's pretty broke in...

You have 93 octane at your Costco? We only have 87 or 91 in California....

I started this thread and have bought a new 25 2 door base model with the squatch package with the 2.3 its doing great on mileage 20-23

20 MPG average on my Stroppe with the Ford Performance tune

 

[timn]

Did you see your milage increase with the tune. I guess I am asking is it worth it.
