Could probably drive over quite a few cars in that Bronco!
I believe you could get quite a few before the cops stop you.
You might be able to get 20ish MPG on the highway. The big tires don't help. But, if you were careful...
In the city, again being careful and paying attention to the RPMs, you could probably get 16, but that's optimistic.
If you use the gas pedal with enthusiasm, like normal driving even, it's not gonna be a cheap vehicle to fuel up.
If I am going to have a vehicle that gets that kind of mileage, I would prefer it to be a sports car
In a way, it kinda is a sports car - it's just useful for different sports. It is a "Sport Utility Vehicle", after all.
It's not good at 0 to 60 - but you can trivially drive terrain that you're not going to drive on with a 'Vette.
So, it's a sports car/vehicle - just not the kinda sports car you're talking about. Hell, it's one of the original SUVs. One of the earliest, at any rate.
