It's bought a '11 super crew and am totally impressed with the ecoboost engine! The other day I did a 29 mike trec on the highway, averaged 63-64 mph, 87 octane fuel and no additives - I got 32.6 mpg. I even went the other way to double check and got 28.7 mpg. I'm totally sold!

I was totally impressed too. I had to work it and didn't use cruise. There's only about 100 feet deference in elevation and it's not all flat either.

Keep in mind that is not going to be a consistent reading. They call them "Lie-O-Meters" for a reason :p. Empty that tank, fill it back up and do the math and you'll find those numbers A LOT lower. But I have seen people get up to 25 from it.

So does the cruise kill your MPG's?

Depends. Hilly roads I turn my cruise off because the cruise seems to be heavy on the throttle going up the hills. On mainly flat roads I use cruise all the time

What gear ratio do u have, mine are 3.55 and 2 wheel drive and not getting that kind of mileage, love it anyway.
