What is the typical fuel economy for a 1975 Ford Bronco with its original 6-cylinder engine and 3-speed manual transmission?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on my research, a 1975 Ford Bronco with its original 6-cylinder engine and 3-speed manual transmission typically gets between 12-18 MPG in real-world driving conditions. The 1975 model year came with the 200 cubic inch inline-6 engine (an upgrade from the smaller 170 used in earlier years), and owner reports from classic Bronco forums show fuel economy ranging from about 12 MPG in city driving to 20+ MPG on highway trips under ideal conditions. Most owners report averaging around 15-16 MPG in mixed use. This fuel economy is actually quite reasonable for a 1970s 4x4 SUV - the 6-cylinder versions typically get 3-5 MPG better than their V8 counterparts. Would you like me to help you find similar 6-cylinder Broncos currently for sale, or do you have any other questions about these classic SUVs?
