What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[jkeaton]

That’s my plan and I don’t doubt it won’t change. I’m trying to chase the elusive 30 mpg that everyone says they get. It’s a data driven experiment. ?

29.8 using eco one way, 29.2 using normal coming back. Not enough to even use eco anymore.

im in the rear bulb club as well, x2 lol. let me guess - the right rear?

T'was my driver's side rear actually. I have to look into bulb numbers closer. My drawer of spares has about a dozen of 3057 and just two of the 3157. The bases look identical so I am betting the 1 means a GE Nighthawk (brighter) or long life filament and the 0 is the standard bulb.
While testing my repair, I was also surprised that the LED ring isn't part of the brake light scheme. It's just that one tiny area of a really large taillamp assembly and only one bulb per side. My Fords from last century had two bulb setups, for redundancy!

Everyone has different driving habits. My experience recently is not many people drive <75-80 on interstates.

Oh Definitely. I spend a lot more time on the right than left. (I’m one of the not many people) That’s why I posted my typical driving speeds. Probably can’t get +30 mpg doing 80.

Wrapped my OB in sunshine yellow….

? won’t have a problem finding that in the parking lot or woods! Looks pretty darn sharp with the OBX black roof.

Cool. It appears to be a matte rather than gloss finish.

It is all relative to traffic conditions and other variables.
I used eco mode with adaptive cruise control from PA to FL and almost 1.5mpg better fuel economy.
With adaptive cruise control when traffic slows or you get stuck behind 18 wheelers ridding side by side in both lanes. When the congestion finally clears out ahead of you and the car automatically accelerates back up to your cruise control set speed. The BS does it much more smooth and controlled in eco compared to being in normal or sport mode. Multiply this happening a lot during a 900 mile trip and you cut out a lot of unnecessary heavy acceleration.
When on a long highway trip I recommend using eco mode along with adaptive cruise control.

I did. Both ways.

I did both ways as well.
I got 1.5mpg better using eco with adaptive cruise than what I got with normal and adaptive cruise.

But like I said fuel economy numbers differ as variables change. You are never going to have the same trip with the exact same conditions. Traffic/Speed limits/Wind/Temp...

All I can say is the engine goes to a much higher rpm not using eco mode w/ adaptive cruise. If I can keep the engine at a lower rpm for more of the total miles on a long trip this would equate to less fuel being used.

Did some black out with decal stickers.

@Keepsie subtle but very nice!

Great pic! Thank you for sharing and for being part of the Ford family! ?

Front, side glass tint to match the rears, and gave it a "brow".

@TRWXXA love the white colorway!
