Why all the caps?

Combined driving + Shell E10 87 + 30% city/70% highway + best mileage = 20.25 mpg

Highway driving + cruise at 70 mph + Shell E10 87 + best mileage = 20.23 mpg

I have not towed as of today.

Sorry about all caps. I didn't realize caps lock was on. Everything we do here at work requires all caps on the programs.

Check out Ford's demo vids with the EB (at the bottom, the red truck) Mind you, they are pitting it against the Tundra 5.7L, and Hemi 5.7L , GM is a non factor. With the exception of GM, the other motors outclass the 5.0L. It may help you put into perspective the EB usable power range.

Hummm I didn't see where he asked a single question about the ecoboost, maybe my eyes are getting worse.
