HAD to be an EcoBoost 'cause EVERYBODY knows they're most fastest!

But ... It was getting more worser MPG.

I do not believe that this is true. The limit is in place because of the speed rating of the tires, purely to protect the manufacturer. Of course, if you wish to cite the law, I will believe you. There are many high end SUV's that far exceed 100mph, of course, they have tires rated for the speed...heck, a Nissan Frontier is factory limited to 115mph, stock tires are rated for 118mph.

Or Loring would be much closer if you're in MA.
