Don't know, don't care what a truck magazine got for their mpg over a year's time... I'm sure the drivers were not paying for the gas, so why would you NOT put your foot into an Ecoboost F150!! I know I do PAY for gas in mine, as well as the NOTE on it and I'm finding it really, really hard NOT to keep my foot out of it, because it just pulls so darn hard when the turbos kick in, it's a blast to drive... :)
I only have 800 miles on mine and haven't towed yet, but it's 'average mpg' is sitting at 17 mpg right now..
I'm loving it, so hate it if you must, but I love mine!!
