Real World MPGs with Sasquatch?

[RHeinz]

Oh, yeah. The 1950 Willys (Chevy 350) gets about 6 MPG.

Lifetime mpg never reset it. More highway than city.

I get 13-15 mpg in my rubicon 6 speed on 35’s…. 17 mpg combined sounds awesome to me lol

8.5 mpg city 12.5 highway with 37 inch tires

Aren’t you running your engine way off its power curve without a corresponding differential gearing change?

Averaging 18.8 mixed highway and city.

Driving around town, which is usually in the 3-5 miles per day range, I get just a tad above 15MpG, on a long trip to SoCal last week I got more or less right around 17MpG, most miles on I5 going 80 and then local trips that usually also were multiple hours. I'd not mind a bit better numbers, but I can live with this, don't have a commute, nor would I ever buy a vehicle like this for commuting, got better things to do with my money than waste it on gas guzzling. I'd probably have a Tesla or similar electric if I had a daily commute, eliminate the boring gas station stops all together.
BadSquatch here, soft top.
ETA: fuelly showed me pretty much the same as the in car computer, so I'm no longer logging gas use in the app, gonna take it off my phone.
Always drove in normal mode, except when we were in the desert and I played around with Sand and Baja modes for a bit.

4 Dr fe. 15.5 to 16.5 town -- 17 to 17.5 hwy. If 75+ drops off rapidly and exponentially

I, too, live in Florida so I have the ideal terrain for gas mileage (not counting traffic).

I went with the Badlands - no Sasquatch - so I am driving on 33's. 2.7 engine.

In the 2 weeks I've owned her, she has gone all over Orlando, to Clermont, to Tampa, to Titusville twice, and some dirt roads and mud puddles. Total mileage is at 986 miles and I am averaging 19.5 MPG.

I run Premium fuel, too.

Take that for what it is worth...

I also live in Florida. Although not a Bronco, for comparison my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL (stock 33's/2.0T/8 Speed trans) made 19 MPG average until 20,000 miles. Now it averages 22 MPG City. I just finished my very first long cross country and it averaged 25 MPG at 70 MPH.
When the Bronco's engine loosens up, you may see considerable better fuel economy. At least I hope so as I'm a future Bronco owner as well.

2 door Badsquatch...
11.6L/100 right now. I did have a tank run at 11.5L earlier...
Window sticker says 13.6L combined
I think that's just over 20MPG

17.2 continues, but I also do about 85 on the freeway.

So what do you get running 80-85 down the freeway for long stretches?

that is what I get, even on a 1800 mi trip, best I get is 17.2, I have dropped to 17, still wondering why though.

Thanks, I thought you meant you had city driving mixed into that. 17 mpg isn't bad at those speeds. My 3.5 ecoboost truck gets 18-18.5 mpg with a 3.55 rear end at those speeds

Getting about 16 mpg with my 2.3L BaseSquatch 2DR. Been trying out the eco mode on the last tank, the on-dash mpg calculator is showing about a 1 mpg improvement over what it used to show, so maybe 17? Dash says 18 right now.

 

[Forrest69]

I’m at 16.8-17

 

[69BroncoX302]

I got to do a 800 mile trip tomorrow, I’ll reset and see what I am getting again. Granted I’ll have a lot of up and down hills.
