The 3.5L V6 EcoBoost gets V8 fuel economy. What would a 5.0L V8 get? Same as the old V10s?

Yes correct, an Ecoboost that size would be a contradiction in terms. We have a 4litre Straight six turbo in the Ford Falcon, Similar power and torque, as the 3.5 , flat torque curve, but considered thirsty here, although fuel use is very similar to to the 3.5
Unlike the 3.5 you can really crank the engine up. Street engines getting 1000hp
