- '21 Bronco Sport FE Area 51
Hey Bronco Fans! So I did a little test that took some time for the results. I have 2.0L.
I drove to Albuquerque, NM on 91 oct.- I switch to 87 while I was there for about a week- drove back on 87.- I only have the MPG before I switch to 87.
The 87 seems to do well coming back to CA- but when I got into CA- I lost MPG and the photo data.
I kept 87 for another month (Nov) back home before I switched back to 91 for a month (Dec).
Both months had similar driving runs. At the end of the Dec, we went to Monterey, CA for a day trip.
NOV 2022 (87 oct)
DEC 2022 (91 oct)
DEC 2022 (overall avg. for the month)
Diving mode was NORMAL to ECO with very little SPORT. City and Freeways. No trials for both months. My conclusion : 91 does well on trips and less frequent fill ups around home.
But due to the small tank - going to New Mexico- I stopped every 3-4 hours to fill up around 1/4 of tank.- be nice to go a full day driving and fill up in the morning .
In NM, 87 was great and cheap-however, heading back West I was losing my MPG by CA.
Today, when I looked at my TRIP 1- I got 107 miles at 3/4 tank full with 91.
I know its not the best test- this was my experience with 91 vs 87.
This was the set-up to New Mexico and back at home- Wife and Daughter are begging me to take it all off..LOL
