The Ecodiesel needed to operate at 90% of its max engine speed in order to pull only 90% of its rated tow weight and still was not able to keep speed. The Ecoboost on the other hand only operated at 58% of its max engine speed to tow 95% of its rated tow weight and easily kept speed. The fact that the diesel used less fuel has more to do with the energy density of diesel fuel versus gas and has nothing to do with how "stressed" each engine was. Also, not all European countries follow the same standard or method to derive engine power output like was stated.
Where did all that fuel go and what did it do? Power is force applied over distance and time. I'm supposed to believe that the magic EB can apply more force over a greater distance in less time without incurring more stress. Sounds like snake oil.
