My V8 does 24 at 65. Mileage wise, ecoboost is a sham...power wise, it's solid. We may see the mileage spike once they introduce the 8 speed trans though.

The 5.0? What rear end?

Here's my question. If I get an f150 I plan to put 33" tires and am looking for the most fuel efficient setup because any of the motors win have plenty of power to pull what i need.

Tuned? There's no way you're getting 24 if it's not tuned.

I have a '13 SCREW eco with 18,000 miles on it- I'm getting about 15 in town. Drove from Shreveport to BR and the meter said 18.3 as I was pulling in. That's 78mph on I-49 and taking 190. It's definitely gotten better as the engine has worn in. Last fall I was struggling to get 13.5-14mpg. I'm pleased with the engine so far, but it's still early.
