That makes no sense.🙃
Everything I've seen from Ford and government shows the 2.3 getting a mile or two better on a similarly equipped Bronco.🤔
I should have specified that these are the auto numbers. Here are the 2.3 and 2.7 numbers from Ford…

Where did those come from?
I was looking at the government data which is still incomplete. It doesn't include every possible configuration, but except for Badlands 10speed automatic, anywhere you can find two identical builds, it shows the 2.3 as slightly better mileage.

Those first 3 must be the non-sas "base". I don't believe any of those first three include Black Diamond. It would make no sense that the 2.3 would get 2mpg better on the Base but 1mpg less on Black Diamond.

I really wish we could see some real window stickers to figure out what really is the case.😞

I agree with you. Sorry my internet skills suck but here is a screenshot photo of the Bronco Nation article on May 11th 2021. They claim (take that for what it’s worth) that this was an advanced copy from Ford.

These pics are from another thread but I thought I would share it here in case someone missed it. This is my first look at a non sas 2dr auto 2.7 BD window sticker.

Had I stuck with 2-door, that would be it. BD on 32"s is my favorite stance on 2-door or 4-door. Badlands 33" is also cool.

Just not a fan of giant offset tires. It's why the Icon Broncos look so great. Big tires, but tall and not balloonish.

I didn't want to get Area 51 or Cactus Gray because they are too popular. I saw A51 in person and didn't like it, so that was easy.

But ever since the 4-door Cactus Gray Black Diamond was at my dealer for a day, I can't stop thinking about it. And twice now I've caught a glimpse of Cactus on a Ranger and it it beautiful.

I know, I was surprised with all the “constraints” I had. What time did you reserve? I was 11:04 Eastern night of reveal. Hope you hear good news soon!

I wonder if this is the 2Dr MPG numbers. Because if I remember correct the 2.7 MPG numbers from the BN post showed 17 city / 19 highway / 18 combine. I may and probably am wrong but that didn’t differentiate 2Dr vs. 4 Dr. However, my 2.3 window sticker shows 18-18-18 so who knows…
