2015 Lincoln EcoBoost vs the Ike Gauntlet
The EcoBoost performance was pretty impressive and I couldn't help notice how relatively low the RPM's were too. Link

Agreed. Many people would think a "gas guzzling V8" and a "Eco" V6 would be vastly different in mpg. However, according to the EPA, roughly the same power output costs roughly the same amount of fuel.
Other real world road tests also agree with this, so it's not just the EPA. The long term Motor Trend Ram 1500 4X4 Hemi ended up at around 1.5 mpg better than the F150 4X4 Ecoboost over 30,000 miles. And, a recent Car & Driver test showed a 2015 Tahoe getting around 1 mpg better real world than the 2015 Ecoboost Expedition. So, they are about equal as nobody will probably argue about 1 mpg.
