I don't drive enough to justify the ecoboost though, the extra cost doesn't make up for the gas savings for my amount of mileage. both the 5.0 and eco do get significantly better mileage than my 2010 5.4 f150 though. (At least 3 mpgs)


Cool truck though, post up the pics!
I thought I read that in my manual last night that it could run it. It was at 1:00am when I was reading the manual so I could be wrong. I don't really care about that anyway for me seeing how you get even worse MPG with E85.

If I was mistaken then I'm sorry to Big Dan also. I also read a test in edmunds claiming that is was set up for E85. I guess we all already know how accurate their reporting is though.
