I have all of 189 miles on my 2013 F150 4x2 with max tow and ecoboost. Since I picked it up with 8 miles on it, I have averaged 20.8mpg on one 90 mile round trip from Spring, TX to Richmond, TX. I was driving 65-75mph. On another 25 mile trip in stop & go traffic, I averaged 17.1mpg. Driving 45-65mph.

just towed for the first time with my '12 4x4,supercrew with ecoboost. Towed my @8000lb boat and got 11.9 mpg. Mixed city and freeway driving a total of @ 80 miles. Very happy with the results. That is better than my old f-350/ diesel. Only have @ 1300 miles total on the truck. If it gets better as many say, all I can say is "Wow".

My father-in-law traded his '10 5.0 with 50,000 miles for a new '12 EcoBoost. Both Lariats, both bone stock. With the 5.0 he had a lifetime average of 20.5mpg but the highest he has seen on the EB is 18...
He was lookin forward to an increase in mileage, and is far from impressed... I've told him that lots of owners see mpg improve with time, and he has only done 3,000 so far so I guess we will see!

If you want to get 20+ mpg, Aero-Up!
In my 2009 4.6 liter ( the white one) I get 25.5 to 26 mpg at 70 mph with the aerocap and aero bed extender combination.
I built one for a girl who lives in Conway, Arkansas that has a 2011 Ecoboost. On a recent trip to Florida and back to Arkansas she got 28 mpg!

The cooler weather in Illinois seems to be helping. Numbers would prob be better if didn't warm truck up 15 min twice a day most days with max heat and fans at max...

But yes sitting and idling obviously drops the numbers but probably just as evenly as driving it cold for first 15 minutes.
