Gas mileage??

[bushbunnie]

I have a 2023 Big Bend with 1.5 L. 90% to 95% of my driving is highway. My average is 31.6 MPG, lowest was 24.8 MPG, highest was 37.6 MPG.

That's about what I am getting with my 2023 BB

I've got a '21 Outer Banks and I consistently get between 28-32mpg. The only time I go under 28 mpg is in winter.

So yeah, something wrong with your Bronco. How many miles on it?

5500 miles

38 or 39 MPG is what I typically see for mileage on my 2025 Outer Banks. My driving is about 50% city and 50% highway. Highway driving is usually about 65 MPH.

Well I haven't calculated by hand.....but i don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that 250 miles per tank is wrong for a 1.5

The issue is the mpg reported by the Bronco in the gauges is not very accurate. You are much better off hand calculating over several tankfuls to get an accurate reading. I use the Fuelly app to monitor both fuel and service inputs to the vehicle.

I get 21-ish around town in my ’25 BSBB. I’d like it to be higher, but I can live with this. I used to run Sport most of the time, but have been trying Eco mode to see if I can bump the mileage up… so far, it doesn't seem to make much difference around town.

I love these posts.

Very small engine. Decently heavy vehicle. That little engine relies very heavily on the tiny turbo to get it moving.

Turbocharged engines require lots of fuel… also, as stated before, 3200 miles on 232 hours of time probably means a ton of stop and go traffic or just idle time.

My 2.0 averages about 13mpg in the winter because I let it warm up for five minutes before I hop in. Summertime, I average about 21-22… same trips daily. Just no idle time.

thats kinda funny, my 1.5 average 30 miles per gal (US) with me letting it war up for 30 minuits at work before I come home (much higher elevation so about 15 to 20 degrees C colder there than where I live. thats with the off road tires also. this summer I have been getting 32 MPG US consistantly. it is a mostly uphill climb to work and opposit coming home, the hills are average grade 8. that little 1.5 doesnt struggle at all doing 75 mph which is the posted spped limity and how fast I am driving. if I slow down and stay in the right lane just to see how much better I can get in milage I can get almost 37 mpg US doing 55mph. yes anything over 65 mph seams to have a larger affect on the milage. if I am driving in town exclusivly I am usaly about 26mpg US.

now having said that if my wife was driving you could reduce the numbers a little
