Have fun!
We just got back on Monday from a Richmond VA to Cincinnati OH round trip. Friday night through Monday evening. The 3.31 geared EB did an outstanding job through the mountains of WVa. 4 adults and a bed full of luggage, coolers, etc and we avg'd 17.9mpg (hand calc'd - truck showed a consistent 0.5mpg higher on the heads up) there and back running 70-75mph pretty much the entire trip. The heads up readout showed as high as 23.1 coming through Charleston, but we hit a steady 15mph headwind on the run from Charleston to Cinci and the mileage dropped drastically.

Have fun! I'm looking forward to stretching out my truck's legs on a long road trip. Screws are a great road trip vehicle.

Rode in my son in law's 2013 F150 screw from Cincinnati to Myrtle beach and back to Cincinnati a few weeks ago. There were three adults and two kids. He has an eccoboost with a 3.73 averaged 17.0 mph. He should have got 18.5 to 19. He likes to drive like he stole it. Didn't go 50 miles before he got a ticket for $119 73 in a 60 mph zone on Rt. 32.

I'm leaving from Newark OH to Myrtle Beach in 2 weeks! And I'll be taking my ecoboost. Let me know how it does on fuel and mileage. Watch out for those un marked police cars too lol
