re: My F-150 Ecoboost mileage.

Around town I get 13MPG and running 75MPH I get 17. 2011 F150 6.2 V8 4x4 with 305/55/20 BFG ATs
Good milage with newer trucks is not isolated to the ecoboost. Plus those turbos will be expensive to replace in 100k miles. That is if you do not wreck your truck due to condensation in the intercooler causing it to fall flat on its face at high RPMs.
Eta: the last problem I mentioned is not my opinion. It is becoming more and more common with ecoboost engines and very well documented on many truck forums. Ford has not acknowledged this problem yet but we will see how they handle it.

2011 fx4 with 5.0 and I get ~15-16 city and 19-20 hwy. that's with 33/12.5 tires.
Ecoboost is a cool idea, but I think they're going to have a higher maintenance cost than I'd want to deal with.
