Picked up my new 2011 lariat 4x4 ecoboost Friday nite..First trip of any length was today from Daytona to Jacksonville Fl..Avg speed 74 Miles per hour with an avg mile per gallon at 18.0 even...Not bad.. a lot better than my 06 xlt 5.4 triton.

The problem I have is that people are reporting that the 5.0 is getting better than 18 at 74, and for sure at 60-65.

These two motors are rated at 1 mpg difference. They are both excellent motors, but keep in mind if you are going to tow heavy and want the max tow setup, the 5.0 is out. Max tow only comes with the EB or 6.2. MPG's on these trucks is a wash, it's all about torque, they are trucks. And with any vehicle if you are going to get the top fuel mileage you must know how to drive to get it!

I got 18+mpg on the way home with new EB Saturday on a mostly 2 lane road and traveling 61-63mph.
I reset the Trip A leaving the office today and got 20+ for the trip home(only 4 stoplights and a little over 25 miles)
My computer on my '10 5.4 said 14.8-15.0 most of the time.
