I had an Ecoboost F150 too, and I found that the MPG wasn't much better for me than my Chevy. I believe it to be mainly because of where I live and drive. It's very hilly so you're on the gas bringing the turbos in more. Also in my Chevy truck, it didn't matter how I drove it. It averaged about the same MPG. In the Ecoboost F150, if I drove it on the highway and didn't breath on the throttle, then it would get way better than my Chevy. I only did it as an experiment though because it's not realistic to drive like that all the time.
I did love the power though of the F150.
