What are you getting in real world driving? Add your model, engine, trans, Sas or not. Before I got mine I really wanted to see real world numbers. Not complaining….. smiles per gallon.
Still waiting on my bronco, but will share an experience with the 3.5 eco boost that’s in my 2013 flex. I did an axle-back exhaust system (from MRT)plus a tune (from unleashed) and my mpg increased substantially! I knocked 1.5 seconds off my 0-60 times, BUT when I didn’t hot-foot it my mpg was also remarkably improved - as much as 2mpg at non-highway speeds which makes sense when considering turbo performance at lower exhaust gas loading. I would expect the same phenomena with the twin-turbo eco boost in the bronco, and am planning to do the same.

18.7 -18.6 depending on if I stay in boost and takeoff harder some times more than others.
Driving in normal mode, not ECO, as I have found the lack of power in ECO doesn't net me the MPG increase I was hoping to offset the lack of takeoff.
2.7 4D BL Sas. A.M. wheels, factory Sas tires.

Hopefully this summer I'll be adding a pedal commander and possible tuner to it, will see how that impacts it.

I don't baby it necessarily, but I also don't leave every light or intersection like I am at Talladega either.
I have found that the more harder launches and lack of pedal awareness does drop it down to about 18.4.

Adding a BOV keeps me aware of when I am more heavy on the boost, as I have the MPG gauge up on the side vs the boost gauge most of the time.

8,000 miles in, avg since bought 18.1 (first 1200 miles were driving into heavy central/north TX winds) , avg for the last 3K miles since oil change is the steady 18.6-18.7. 5W20 Mobil1.

I still struggle to understand just how these numbers are as low as they are for the Bronco. For reference, my JK has a NA 3.6L motor which makes less power then the 2.3 or the 2.7, even within every motors "efficiency" range. 5 speed tranny in the JK vs the 10 speeds in the Bronco. 4.88 gears in my JK which are taller and less fuel efficient then even the tallest 4.70's in the SAS Bronco's. And finally, I have super heavy 37x13.5 tires...I think full tire/wheel weight is somewhere in the 110lb per corner. And yet, I can consistently pull down 18.5 mpg highway and 15.5 mpg around town. Consistently fuel up after fuel up average 16.8mpg. Don't understand how the Bronco is literally more efficient in EVERY single relevant category I can think of and yet it's less fuel efficient across the board

19ish, 2.7 auto with squatch pkg. I have gotten as high as 20.7, in eco mode on the highway.
85 octane at 6500+ elevation. I keep the auto start on as it has no effect on driving, just being stopped.

2.7 Badlands SAS 4dr with Panda Power tuner on stage 5. We drive pretty spirited in my house (wife and I) with about 60/40 city/highway driving and so far over the last few thousand KM we're at 13.6L/100KM which works out to 17.3MPG. Also we have only used 91 octane since we got it.

Normal goat mode.

I’ve got the same car, and I’m not even close. Do you have 4A?

2 door base 2.3 auto and I'm getting 23.5 during warm weather and it drops to about 21 during cold snaps. I've seen 24, nearly 25 when driving to Moab. I always drive in eco and almost always under the speed limit on the highway.

Avg: 16.41
Min: 14.41
Max: 19.05

I use the app "FillUp" to track it and I've found that the dash display is 5-10% optimistic from actual calculated values. Driving behavior is 90% 2 lane highway ≈50 miles one way @ 65-70 mph.

These numbers cover 5350 of my ≈8250 miles on the vehicle.

Here in Nebraska the wind plays a massive factor in MPG, headwinds absolutely kill MPG.

Totally agree on wind, we also get a lot of wind here in Alberta and driving a brick like this up a big hill into a headwind and you are in boost the whole time to maintain any momentum.
