Real world gas mileage

[23OBX2.7]

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.

Update after 700 miles got 22.4 MPG. 3000-6000 ft (not 8000)

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

I’m getting 18.7 avg with a 2 door SAS 2.3, 7 mt. This is calculated and not based on the Ford projected milage. My best has be 21.7 and worse is 17.2. A mix of driving and at normal elevations and using Costco 87 octane.

Update: still getting MIL light and P0430 code. MIL light has reset itself twice, including 30 minutes before scheduled appointment . Dealer has (allegedly) contacted corporate techs about this one. As of today: AutoNation Torrance has had my Bronco for a total of 30 days so the ante has moved up a notch. Yesterday I got yet another recall notice, the seat bolt one; I have texted/called the service rep and SM 3 times to request that they include the recall fix while they still have it. No response so far. Situation normal.

Lemon Law time according to DMV...

• The car has been out of service for 30 days or more for repair to warranty problems.

You adjust the speedometer?

As an experiment I put my HE in eco mode. Since the last Costco fill-up (91) and just driving around town I have been avg 19.4 mpg.
Yes I am driving it like a total pu$$y but why else use eco mode then?
Before around town driving in regular mode would get about 15mpg.
I am curious to see the mpgs with combined HWY driving. Regular Goodyear SAS package tires, running them at 36psi cold.

I want to see what the same driving habits do in your favorite driving mode.

When I drove in a very similar manner in my favorite mode which is 'normal' (I think that is what it is called) I was getting about 15mpg around town. I am honestly really surprised with the difference But I think being in eco mode also puts me in the right mindset to drive like a wuss.

I will report back once I have used up this tank of gas.
