Well, my neighbor has an 89 Ford Bronco he wants to sell me. It is a four speed standard. Haven't got to test it yet, but i am sure it is pretty good. It is a sweet ride, he has huge tires, rolebar with 5-6 lights, and a huge lift. I love it, but with the price of gas i might just have to do with out it! Any one have any idea what kinda mileage i might get from it?

From what you're describing, about 12 is a good educated guess.

Is that a full size Bronco or the Bronco II? If it's a BII then I can shed a little light. My '89 BII gets around 28-30 mpg in stock 4x4 trim. I think the big Bronco came with 351m or 351w engines. With what he has done to it I would say 12 mpg would be the max, depending on how big those "huge" tires are, you could realistically get under 10 mpg. Your gas mileage question could be a sign of why he is selling it...... :sarcasm:

I think the reason he is selling it mainly is because he jsut bought a brand new ford diesel, mind you the gas mileage could have had somethign to do with it. I would really like this thing, it is a hell of a vehicle, but i just wouldn't have the money for gas unless he gives me a darn good deal on the thing. It is a Big Bronco, 30+ " tires i am guessing, cause they are big. If only gas went way down again! :angry:

Gas mileage, brutal. Save your money and have a nice trip! :D
Check with your insurance agent, at your age it could be pretty high.

It will be very bad on gas. 10-12mpg MAX. With the cost of gas now it will bury you money wise. Sounds like a nice Bronco though. Can we see a pic??

MX if i can get over there to get a pic of it i will, but i can't promise anything!

I think i will just save my $$ but boy would i like to have that thing.

Bauer,

Don't expect good gas mileage at all. Fords from that era were terrible on fuel. In winter, it will break you.

well i can tell you that to get 12 you will be dreaming. if it is a full size bronco that is. I have a 92 f150 pretty much same size of a truck.. and i got 12 stock. i get about 6-8 now and i only have 33X12.5's with a 6 inch lift. i imagine you could get about 8-10 if you clean the engine really good and do a really good tune up . but as long as it is a full size bronco i dont think you will get 12... also what size engine is in it? id guess a v8 of some size or maybe even fords straight 6 either way...lifted trucks rule! let us see some pictures :D

Ihave a full size blazer with a 350 cid, six inch lift rolling on 35's,,,,there is no fuel milage.....6 to 8 mpg really sucks. But it is fun to drive.....

Take it from ZOG what do ya want to put gas in your snowmachine or that fuel guzzling FORD?

If you got 10 MPG you would be lucky.

with a 351 7-8 MPG is more like it.
