Real MPG. Las Vegas to Bend, OR. 800 miles. 2-door FE.

Figured I’d share. Just averaged 17.2mpg on a 2 door First Edition (Sasquatch). I’m more than pleased. 800 miles. Had the adaptive cruise control set at 80 the majority of the way. By comparison, my 3rd Gen Tacoma, 2” lift, 33” tires, bed rack roof rack, bumper and re-geared was lucky to ever get 15mpg and it constantly hunted for gears. The Bronco did great.
I’m driving it another 800miles to Moab Saturday and then back to Vegas so I’ll see if 17+ is the norm.

** UPDATE **

just did the second leg of the trip to Moab. 900 miles. First 400 cruise was set at 68mph. I averaged 20.5mpg.The rest of the way I did 78/85mph and it brought it down to 19.4. For the second leg.

So total Trip including city driving and coffee shop drive-thru idling was 18.4mpg. 1700 miles and only 400 of that was me showing any concern to have a good mpg. The rest was normal idiot driving.

Got any other mpg data on long trips and at higher speeds? Thanks!

Nope- just from above. Overall now I have 6300 miles on the Bronco and my avg is 17.3mpg.
I am towing an overland trailer out to the desert tomorrow so that could be some interesting data.
