Am I the only one who doesn't give a crap what the mileage is?
Of course that might be because I drive an '05 2500 Suburban 4x4 with full tow, 4.10 gears and an 8.1L that makes a slurping sound as it goes down the road!

That's pretty good considering 350 miles in 11.75 hours is an average of about 30mph so it's likely not highway miles... unless if is highway miles mixed with lots of still idling.

Yeah, this is the meat:

“The lawsuit uses a 2018 Ford F-150 equipped with Ford’s 2.7L EcoBoost V6 as an example. That particular truck has a fuel economy rating of 20 miles-per-gallon city, 26 highway, and 22 combined. The suit alleges that the actual fuel economy of this truck is 17.7 mpg in the city and 22.7 on the highway, which is a pretty big difference.”

I’d be psyched with 26 mpg highway! That’s what my outback gets right now. Sadly, it is not to be.

There was another post where somebody was scrolling through the screens and 19.1 was the MPG. This reinforces that

Ah yes, "allegedly". Smh, ford.

Lol there are days I do miss my little Prius!!! Then I realize how uncool it looked!!!! Lol

My favorite bumper sticker (when it’s on a Prius) “Cool Prius -said no one ever”

I found myself at 25 driving a brand new 2012 Toyota Corolla. Great MPG, after a year though I felt like I was 25 acting 60. So I bought a Camaro and 2 camaros and a Challenger later I’m glad I did lol.

Can we start removing posts that don’t state all the relevant information of a particular bronco when posting things like MPG, weight specs, etc? Knowing if this is a Sasquatch and what trim is a big factor when crunching numbers.

I'm pretty sure that the trip time on my 2015 Edge is only the time the engine, or at least when the car is in "accessory mode."

I'm not sure how useful it would be if it just continually counted since the last time you field up, but then again, I'm sure someone would want to know that info.

Edge owner here - I agree. Trip clock only counts time when the engine is on. It truly applies to your rolling time, not the total time from door to door if you're on a long road trip - it will stop ticking when the engine is off and you're getting Slim Jims and Bugles for the road.

Nope,

I pretty much never get the epa mileage. I’m sure it has nothing to do with my driving style. I’m certainly not buying the Bronco for the mileage.

I stand corrected. I just tested it, and it only includes time in accessory mode or engine on. If the car is completely off, the trip time stops.
