Speaking from first hand experience, with as poor of MPG as the EcoBoost gets towing, I can't imagine how bad this engine would suck fuel under load.

I would agree, likely can watch the fuel gauge move.

Was not much of an issue until the full out, no holds barred assault on the oil and gas industry. Bend over and grab em. We can't have folks wasting all this energy pulling around these RVs or anything else, it's the Green new deal. Just move to some inner city condo and shut up, we'll hand you everything you need, enjoy it.

When you can barely make 200 miles with a 30 gallon tank, MPG is an issue regardless of the price per gallon.

Which "poor" MPG are you referring to?
The 20+ MPG Highway?
The 15 MPG City?
The 10.5 MPG Towing?
Do any of you have an Ecoboost?

In 20,000 miles, the best MPG I’ve seen is 20.63 MPG. That was ONE time. Usually highway is 18 MPG. I have several tanks towing at 7-8 MPG with my 7000 pound boat. Towing my 17’ fishing boat yields that 10.5ish you’re referencing, and that is maybe 3200 pounds and not much air resistance.

Hardly stellar MPG numbers. Power is good. Non towing MPG is ok. Towing MPG is simply bad.
