    Yep. You can have eco or you can have boost. No in between lol that's also alot ot spirited driving because I like the noise she makes. And the power is fun too. Mines also a 12. The new ones supposedly get quite a bit better.

    I've seen it as good as 23 on the highway. City here isn't a lot of start/stop plus it idles about 20-25 minutes a day when I work during the winter.

    Highway city doesnt matter. 16 is it. Going to replace coils with some accel ones this weekend. 130k on stock ones. It's time. A set of aftermarket is 270 vs 70 each for stock so aftermarket it is.

    Oh my. My 05 5.3l gets 13.5 to 21.3 city/highway on paper calculations. I have put all but 7miles on the truck in its life time. Runs like a raped ape and will burn the tires to the cords.

    But with 3.73 after 67-68 mpg it goes to hell again.

    Yeah there was a bit if a stink raised over what ford claimed theyd get vs real world.

    Had a 15 model ram with 3.92s that would do 21 at 70mph. City was about 17.

    Had a 89 caprice 305tbi 200r4 and a 2.42 rear member. Not quick by any means. 120-130mph not problem and float down the road. Open highway it could get as high as 28 mpg if driven like a saint. I miss that boat.

    That's at least respectable. All these extra part for small gains. Not a fan.
