As far as the engines being expensive, the 2.7 EB will be the entry level engine option, one notch above the now questionable base 3.5L engine. So we are looking at the 2.7~$1000, standard on most models though, vs the $4000 EB. I predict the 2.7 gets the same combined mileage rating as the ED.
Nope I bet it won't be any better then the 3.5. If Ford does rate it better it will quickly fall on it's face like the 3.5's rating did. It is a smaller displacement with just under 700# less weight so fuel mileage should be a push. Think about it, it is running the numbers that the 3.5 did before the weight came off.
And again until these tests are done by a true third party with NO outside influence, using like equipment, it's nothing but a commercial. This one happens to be a Ford commercial.
