The ECOboost V6 3.5L is not getting the mileage promised. In the winter is was getting 13-14 highway - hardly the 21 highway that the sticker indicated.
Part of this lie may result from what I understand to be the federal testing by EPA where they get to use "pure" gasoline, but us dumb taxpayers have to use the ethanol-infused fuel which gets worse mileage, because non-ethanol fuel is not allowed in our area of the country
Update from Jul 17, 2014: After "break-in" period, mileage is closer to what is expected, however still not what was indicated originally.

Bought truck used several months ago and am now evaluating mileage. It is a 4 wheel drive. Mileage on trips for last three fillups were, 15.6, 15.3, and 14.9. Overall since purchase it is15.8 mpg. Truck had 27,000 miles when purchased and only 31,000 now.
I expected to get better mileage than this
