That's the thing with an EcoBoost. You can only have one. Eco, or Boost. Your right foot chooses.
Could not the same thing be said for virtually every internal combustion engine with a throttle ever built? Would a statement like " you get to choose one" be more accurate?
I believe what ib516 is trying to say is, there's a very fine line between Economy and Boost with the F150 Ecoboost.
A few years ago I had the opportunity to drive a number of different F150 Ecoboosts on some long-distance trips. The only way I could consistently get 20 MPG highway was to keep them at 60 or below. As soon as I nudged any of them above 60 MPH, the MPG's dropped precipitously. Not very linear (in terms of MPH and MPG) from my experience.
