4-door 2.7 engine showing 18.9 mpg

[MN_OuterBanks]

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!

I could care less. I didn’t order it for mileage, I ordered it because I wanted it. You have zero idea how these demos were driven, how long the idled so these numbers mean exactly NOTHING

*Expects fuel economy of a Honda Accord*

....lol wut? c'mon people!!

As long as it’s on 87, I really do not care.

although, since I want a manual I’ll be rocking the 2.3L

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.

I will miss the 26 mpg on my Outback when’s she’s gone. But I’m ditching practicality and fuel efficiency for some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Luckily, I’ll have a company vehicle for work, and my Bronco for play.

100% AGREE!

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

You look more like a Bronco owner.

Nope, me neither. The last toy was a 95 Lightning, also with 4.10, 5.7 v8. Dual 17 gallon tanks and still had trouble making it 300 miles before filling up. Anything over 10-12 is a bonus!

18? Ok but..... Highway would be better for sure.
Like others already said, you don't know how it was driven, idled, etc, but one thing for sure if I was the Ford test driver I would be driving it like IT WAS STOLEN!! Betting 20-24 highway, 12-18 city.

 

[Bdockins]

I’ll say again. Anyone who expected better than a combined MPG of 17 is probably going to be disappointed

Long as it’s over 15, I’m good.
But yea a lot of F150s on fuelly would disagree with you. Lower front spoiler and all.

 

[Machine Gun Fury]

I find it funny that within a week or so people will be able to see their window sticker and we still don't know this. What is the window sticker going to say "MPG TBD"?

I’m just thinking big ol brick of a SUV on 35s....

You can see the reflection of open top. Full size for sure

My Sti is only getting 19 - 20 mpg of 93 octane. Both the Bronco and STi are much more efficient then my Chevy 2500 6.0 at 11 - 12 mpg.
Does the 2.7 recommend premium fuel for best performance?

 

[Joker352]

Shit, if a 4 door is getting that, my 2 door will trounce my current trucks mpg easily! Bring it!
