That's what I'm leaning to when I make my next purchase.

That's pretty good, but the V8 gets around the same, doesn't it?

I usually get 18-19 in city
From MotorTrend:
Instead, the company is developing a V-6 EcoBoost engine for the F-150 which employs turbocharging and direct-injection -- a design that Ford says will deliver similar power to a V-8 engine -- all while using less gas.
Such engines are cheaper to build than diesels -- less than $1000 more costly than a conventional V-8 in comparison to the $4000 or $5000 price tag of a diesel engine, according to Ford. That thousand bucks buys you more power, expected to top the targets of 340 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque from the 3.5-liter turbo V-6, compared with the 320 and 390 for today's 5.4-liter Triton V-8.
It will also return 15-20 percent better mileage, Ford engineers predict. That extrapolates to 16 mpg city/23 highway for the EcoBoost engine, compared with 13 and 18 for the V-8 today

This must be a 2wd
My 2010 5.4 4x4 averages maybe 16-17 on the interstate
Of course my cruising speed is closer to 78

Let me just say his mechanical knowledge is pretty much limitless.

That's incredible. My old 5.4 averaged 13 highway with 34x12.5" tires. I'll get my Ecoboost one day...

I get 17mpg max in town with my 5.0. I took one trip and got 22mpg cruising at 60-65mph but once I got on the interstate and set it on 75, my mpg went down to around 19.5.
I was definitely leaning towards the ecoboost but the dealer was more willing to deal on the 5.0 and it had everything I wanted. I think the ecoboost has proved itself and set a new standard.
