Default WOW!!

Just got my new SCREW ecoboost last week and took it from Alabama to New Mexico, and i must say i'm highly impressed. This thing was like driving a truck sitting on my couch. gas milage was 20.5 avg for the trip(4x4 with 3:55 gears)
My only complaint was the rock that cracked my windshield, what are ya gonna do right.....

I don't know how many miles you drove on your round trip but I returned recently from a 2700 mile round trip with my '10 XLT Screw with a 4.6 V* and got 19.2 mpg average for the trip. The fuel mileage was doing really well until I got to Colorado.

I don't expect 30 mpg out of my truck but for such an amazing engine as everyone says 18 is pretty bad.

Glad to hear you like it. I love mine too. I can get as good as 20mpg but to have a quick truck and so nice to drive I couldn't give a crap about the MPG. 18mpg is great out of a 6-7k lb truck with 365hp.
