I get the same mpg as Wing Zealot. I frequently get 21-22 on the highway doing 70 mpg (speed limit in WI) and 10.5 to 12 when towing my 3500 pound TT at 65 mph. If I slow to 55 mph, I can get 12 to 13.
I love the EcoBoost in the mountains where I don't have to worry about being at 9,000 to 11,000 ft. SAt those elevations, still have all of my horses and torque. I can go over the Beartooth or up the west side of the Bighorns on 14A and not worry about overheating or running out of guts. To keep my heat down I do downshift to let the tranny take a break. When I do that I am still under 3000 rpm's.
