Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

[tjbronco]

I have a 2022 Bronco Sport Big Bend - I drive 70 miles round trip to work each day - city and highway. I tend more toward old lady and I use Eco mode - about 67-68 mph (cruise) on highway. My dash mileage has been showing about a 29.2 MPG average - and I bought the car this winter - warming it up before I leave. I am expecting better mileage as the weather warms. I have not done official mileage tests yet - just going by the dash. We have a 2020 Outback as well - seems to get about the same average mileage as the Bronco Sport.

2022 BS BB. 245/65/17 Yokohama Geolander tires. Getting 26.6mpg, all normal mode, no eco. Approx 800 miles. 90 percent driven back roads of PA. Was putting about 250 miles on a week running the wife to and from work while she was in between cars. Wont be driving the Bronco as much now, maybe 100 miles a week or so.
All and all, I can’t be mad about being just shy of the 27 I’m getting. And nearly every time I drive it it seems to inch up .1mpg. Probably one of the better MPG vehicles I’ve had in my life, coming from a 2013 WRX and 2018 Jaguar.

After a year of ownership, my OB has gone from 31 +/- mpg to 33 + mpg. All normal mode. No highway.
Saw this today.

Colder temps means denser air which requires a bit more fuel. It also means a drop in tire pressure which increases rolling resistance.

In hot weather my 235 Yoko’s get a cold psi setting of 31 and heat up to 34 or 35 psi. The ride is perfect and even tire wear across the tire is perfect.
In spring and fall weather. (50’s) I still set psi at 31
In my winter conditions, temps in the teens and up to mostly below 40 I set to 32.
My best ride and handling is with my tires heated up and landing in the 35 to 36 psi range.
On super hot days I see 37 psi.
My ride and handling quality drops significantly at and above 38 psi.
I check Tire pressure and put a tread depth gage in all the grooves monthly.
With variable weather I often check just the TP weekly.
I also use a digital pressure gage.

? I’m just under 400mi and I’m getting about 20.1 mpg. For reference, my mustang gets 11 mpg and my super duty gets about 8. I have a heavy foot.

As of today with 2k miles I'm gett 30.3 so it says driving on normal mode

 

[baja_bob]

I was getting about 32-34mpg last summer, that's with using cruise and ECO mode. I got the best results with 89 octane gas

I have a heavy foot.

Wow, I'll say!

Not bad! Now try to keep that average for another 150 miles ??

Almost 4k on the odometer. I get around 24-26 mpg around town and 32-34 mpg back and forth to work (85 miles round trip) on 91 octane gas and also use full synthetic motor oil. I'm really happy with the mileage!

With 2,200-ish miles on my 2022 Big Bend, I am getting roughly 30 mpg.

- I driving using a light foot
- I have Auto Start/Stop running most of the time
- I live in a hilly area

- I have used 93 Octane since I purchased the vehicle, though soon I am going to run 87 for a while to see what happens to the MPG average.

I am going to run 87 for a while to see what happens to the MPG average.

My prediction is that with warmer weather on the way you'll see an increase in fuel economy. Unless you live somewhere without seasons, like FL or CA.

Was getting roughly 27MPG combined....added larger tires (WP AT3 235/65/17) and a front runner roof rack.....am now getting 22.5MPG. Gotta be honest, I am a little disappointed by the drastic loss. I knew there would be some, but this is a bit much.
