2.7 eco boost gets 18.5 mpg average according to Motor Trend
Dang topic heading was supposed to say 2.7 eco boost. Sorry can't figure out how to fix it yet. That's horrible. Not much better than 5.3 last year with a steel body Link

I understand, but this is America. We have driven the big trucks all through the 4 buck a gallon era. If it's 3 mpg that separates a 'MAN' and his V8 from a 2.7 liter v6. I would be very surprised.
I am saying that because we are talking about trucks. Not a car.
You know.... Women are allowed to buy and drive trucks these days :)
Some men will always cling to the V8 (or V10) or diesel, etc. And that's great, I imagine Ford will continue to make them, even if in smaller numbers. There is a powertrain option for nearly everyone, unless you like your F-150 powered by a battery pack.
I dunno, we'll see. There is no V8 option for the Expedition in 2015. Ecoboost is the only option. I believe the 6.2 is going away from the F150 as well, leaving just one V8 and 3 V6. I expect it will be a while, if ever, before they drop the 5.0 v8 from the truck lineup, but if the Ecoboost lineup significantly outsells the v8, I can see it as a possibility.
And I'm fine with that! I like my EB enough that I don't really care to own another V8 at this point!
