So in the real world a f250 with the v8 might get similar mpg as an f150 ecoboost - especially if my wife can't keep her foot off the gas? I do like the "potential" good mpg of the ecoboost but if it isn't realistic...
I have a good friend who's on his second EB (both CC/LB/4wd), and his lifetime fuel average has been right around 14-15 mpg on both of them. That includes some towing, some around town and quite a bit of highway. From the times I've been with him I'd say he's pretty typical in terms of how aggressively he drives from a fuel economy standpoint. I do think you'd average a little better MPGs with the EB, but to me the difference isn't material relative to the other costs of purchasing and owning a new truck.
