I know I would have a hard time staying out of boost if my truck had that engine!

Default Gas Mileage

Unfortunately I can compare the eco to a 5.0. Two weeks ago I picked up MY eco engine 150..no problems with that mill. Sweet. Then had a trailer brake mod added by dealer(part of the deal). After the mod added the dash brain thinks I now have low oil pressure(even tho the engine brain says all ok.) Dealer or Ford can't find problem. In the meantime dealer has rented a tk..5.0 for me. Right from the get go mileage is better with the eco both towing and not. AND the eco just has a little over 1k on it. Dunno, but I expect it will improve. Don't have my notebook with the exact stats here (in tk at dealer) so I won't even begin to guess.
Thebestneverrest06 has a good point. Keep it sweet on the street.
