Eco or Boost - It ain't rocket science!
And if you race a 240 hp truck against a 360hp one up a mountain, the 360 hp one will burn an amount of fuel proportional to the time saved. Certainly not 2mpg to 7mpg - That's just pure BS.

But it's not just the HP difference. The diesel is inherently more efficient. If you compared a diesel with 360hp against the EcoB at 360hp, in the same truck, the diesel would be more fuel efficient.
From what I can tell, the even big diesels in the 250/2500s can get about the same unloaded mileage as I do with the EcoB, and can get 25% better mileage when towing.
