I read an article recently that a Ford is working on a V-8 EcoBoost that has two fuel tanks... One unleaded, the other E-85. When extra power is needed the truck uses the higher 130 octane E85. It said most won't use a lot of E85, but mileage is expected to be well in the mid to upper 20's in a Superduty. This was an article based on an interview with Ford. It is already in testing. I'm waiting with baited breath. It is targeting the next redesign, for 2017, coming out in 2016.
Awesome. Online link?

Hmmmm. 2009. Did a little search and read that the project's been shelved in favour of the straight Ecoboost. Dunno if that's true or not ... Goto 31 Oct entry
Yeah, not sure either. The actual article I read I could not find. It was recent. The link was what I could dig up quickly.
Let's face it... even a regular V-8 EcoBoost would be nice on a Superduty.
