Well, in my mind, a 14 mpg average for a truck for all uses over the course of a year is pretty good. Especially if it isn't being driven for mileage, but rather being flogged for testing purposes.
For comparison, my Suburban has averaged 13.7 mpg over the last year. That includes everything from a few 9 mpg tanks towing the TT, a few 13 mpg tanks towing the scout's gear trailer loaded with 7 people, plenty of city driving, and even a few 21 mpg tanks taking it easy on the state highways.
But that mpg for the performance the Ecoboost delivers is pretty impressive -- like Skip said, that seems to be the best part about the EB. I've driven a couple EBs this week, and it makes my '10 Suburban feel pretty slow. If I can have that performance, and match the economy of my Suburban, I'll take it!
