Do any of you have an Ecoboost?

I've put over 350K miles on 2 different F-150s since @ 2014/15. Both were 3.5 Ecoboost 4 door, short bed, 4x4. I call BS on those MPG numbers, not even close.

17.6 highway
13.4 city
Average everyday @ 15
Towing 14' utility trailer in VA/WV/NC/PA @ 7-8.

I have found that gas mileage with powerful engines depends a lot on how heavy your right foot is. You can drive an Ecoboost easy and get good fuel economy or you can drive it hard, turn a lot of fuel into heat and get lousy fuel economy. Always remember that speed requires exponentially more fuel and the Ecoboost makes speed easy.

On the other hand, my 3.5 Ecoboost gets about 20% better fuel economy than the V10 that it replaced and that is probably going faster than I did with the V10. Going fast with the Ecoboost is too easy for great fuel economy.
