I pay little attention but my 2dr 2.7 Sasquatch big bend was getting in the 18s when stock…after lift and 37s it is now getting in the 14s…all on the computer (who knows accuracy)…and of course the driver makes the biggest difference (so the wife tells me)…

I have a 4 door 2.7 badlands non-Sas. Leveled (+1 front, -.5 rear) with the stock 33s and the tracked lifetime average is 18.0. The computer shows the lifetime average at 19.1. This is over 49k miles. Mix of city and highway. Best tank was 22.2, on I10 with a tail wind at 70. My wife consistently gets right at 18, I typically get 20, but am a more gentle driver. Off roading I typically get ~11. The biggest driver of milage is being reasonable on accel, and then lifting early when coming to a stop. For reference in my Xterra, the brake pads lasted 85k miles. The bronco's brake pads still look new.

Its not great gas milage, but it is reasonable if you drive it knowing its shaped like a fridge.
