Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

[BigD]

Since your tires are 107% the stock diameter, you are actually travelling 107% further than your trip meter states. You're really getting 26.2 mpg. You are also going 107% faster than your speedo reports, so be careful.

Yea but that is figured in my calculations. I am going 9/10s of a mile everytime it says I’ve gone a mile. That was included.

I’ve had my BS two months and have 11,732 Miles on it. I have a traveling job in summer. In the beginning I got 28-30mpg. Then I got adventurous and put 245/70/17 tires on it. Now my mileage is more like 24.5. Not what I wanted but you gotta pay to be cool?

I now have 17,000 miles in 3 months with a 2” lift included. 24.6mpg still. LOVE

Did you do a lift with the 245/70/17s? Any pinch or rubbing?

Had mine since 8/30 and now has 4300 miles on the clock. I travel 28 miles each way to/from work, 20 miles of it is highway. I do have a heavy right foot. I average between 24 and 25 MPG. Recently went on a trip to the NC coast which was a 1600ish mile trip and got 26.5 loaded with 3 people, a dog, and all of our luggage including a hitch cargo carrier.

No lift in the beginning. No rubbing. No problem. Now I have a 2” lift from Ford Ranger Lifts, and it looks good

2” from Ford Ranger Lifts. $525 delivered

33+ highway 24 to 25 City

750+ Miles, took two trips into the mountains and 70/30 Hwy/Cty driving.

I was tracking MPG the old way, like my grampa did, with pen and pencil but to be honest it was within +/- .2-.5 MPG of the digital readout.

 

[trin.ity]

I got 32mpg on the 100 mile trip home from the dealership. Adding city driving, I'm down to 29mpg at around 300 miles.

Just a regular driver

 

[Osco]

Appalachian mountain driving and a small town, very little interstate but lots of curves and ups and downs.
To the big city occasionally with interstate highways to get there.
Days away from one year of ownership approaching 13,000 miles.
I’m no granny driver but not a lead foot. Retired commercial driver with 3.2 million logged miles.
A survivor.
My second trip meter set when new shows a 26.7 mpg average.
Bout 25 city and 29 highway.
Tank by tank figured mpg’s runs about 1.5 mpg’s less than the dash board, Always has.
My 1.5 L runs great.

Yup. The the BS has really bad aerodynamics. Once you get over 60-65 the MPG's start dropping quick.
The air just swirls in a vacuum at the back. I'm sure you have noticed how quick the dirt accumulates on the rear hatch.

You know you’re doing well with MPG when you fill up and it shows more than 500 mile range.
