my last two F150's have both been black. Previous to the 2011 Ecoboost I had an 08 SCAB with the 4.6 V8 4X4. It sucked in comparison to the new Ecoboost motor

carval, your mileage does sound a little low. However, if you have alot of hills on your highway drive you may be about right. My 3.7L SCREW w/ 3.73's did 21 mpg on I-95 from South Carolina to Florida (rolling hills then flatter in FL, and 1500K on the odo) with the AC at 70 mph. But, if you are on more flat land 15 is too low. That's what I get in stop and go city driving. Remember, 70 mph (or 2000 rpm's) is the point where it seems these engines start getting lower mileage. Pay attention to how you start from a stand still, as fast starts with these gears will cause your mileage to be low. Hope this helps.
BTW, the MB will get better mileage. It's lighter with much higher rear end gears.

Gas milage Ecoboost
I have almost 9,000 miles on My 2011 F150 Ecoboost and I have been getting 21.6mpg on a average week. Both freeway and some city.
On a long trip last week I got 23.2 mpg all freeway, not Bad for a full size

ive got an 07 4.2, single cab, long bed, stock and over the summer i saw 19 which was all highway driving anywhere between 80 mph and 40 mph(i live in the sticks). not too impressed when my buddy with an 04 4.6 saw the same or better mpg.

My Nelly Belle (95 4x2 Sc Sb 300, 5 speed, 3.08, and 235x75x15 tires 4400lbs)
averages 16 to 17 mpg on my daily 40 mile (round trip) commute. I can get slightly over 20 if I drive at 60 mph. On long trips at 70mph I get 18-19 Mpg.

Wow I have a 06 4.2 and been getting 16.5 to 18 depends on how I drive
never took it on a long freeway drive to get that MPG. I am thinging around 20
to 22mpg. That is with 3.73 gears on a At. Trans.
