The way these turbos are mated to the engine, the vehicles practically make peak tq off idle. So, it's not like you can cruise around making no power and sipping gas. With that said, I do like the eb f-150's, and am all for more turbo applications(it can only get better).

Ford has never been on top of the mpg game, though they are definitely improving. It was nothing for me to easily get 30mpg in my stock C5 cruising 80mph. Averaged 33mpg once from Cincinnati to Columbus. My dad's iroc back in the 80's routinely got 23-25. GM has, historically/domestically speaking, always been king of mpg.

Ford is shooting for 26 mpg in their new base v-6 f-150. Accomplishing a good bit of it with lightweight materials. I've got one word for them...Pentastar.
