I can see a Ford F150 3.5 Ecoboost debacle coming....look at all the HP, look at what you can tow with it.....followed by failures and unhappy buyers looking for an out.
This is my concern too.
Meanwhile the EPA ratings are determined with some weird academic drive cycles, so I'll be waiting to see how real world abuse turns out. Plus the article states the mileage was achieved on 92 octane.
As a sidenote, I had a 96 Neon that got best summertime mileage on mid-grade, and wintertime did best on regular.
Maybe the constant AC use triggered different timing maps or something.
We need to get one to Rhinodart stat. We'll know the story within 30,000 miles.
