ok guys..........I've had this truck for a month now and I'm not seeing the gas savings like I'm suppose to see. When do I get to see the 29 miles to the gallon.............or is Ford blowing smoke in our eyes.

lol... 29 mpg you should see at around 500 miles or so. you won't see the good mileage (35-56 mpg) until 15,000 miles.

until then, make sure your tire pressure is 65 front, 85 rear and the AC seats are on high at all times.

The answer is never if you want that as an average MPG.
For our friends south of the border, I believe the op is from northern Ontario so the truck is actually rated at 29 hiway mpg (Imperial).

55 mph with cruise control set, non-stop, perfectly level ground, with no wind ...... you should be able to get 25+ mpg. Throw a hill or two in and some combined driving, kick the cruise up to 70 or more, you will see this drop to 17-20 mpg. Do a bit more city driving and you will see that drop to 15mpg or less.

I'm in a 4x4 screw eco with level and raptor wheels and tires.... im right at 14 in city. I dont drive easy either... This is way better than my v6 FJ.

I suppose if he has a 3.7L 2wd then it would be rated at US 24mpg = Imperial 28.8mpg.

So, the answer would be if you have PERFECT conditions and driving technique you could see 29mpg (Imp).

But with the thread title being "2013 eco-boost" his truck could only be rated as high as US 22mpg if 2wd. And that translates to 26.4mpg imperial.

To answer your questions:

1. Never
2. Perhaps

I have posted a thread here (referring to US gallons) that states --- "I can get 12 or 24 mpg with my EB, its my choice."
The EB is less than 214 cubic inches. To get the 6,000 truck moving from a standstill, or to drive it into a headwind, or to maintain 75 mph, or up a hill, or to tow 10,000 pounds takes LOTS of torque. That takes spooling the turbos. That takes gas. Lesson over.
