I have had a few Eco-boost vehicles as work vehicles and a 2014 Fusion with the 1.6L eco-boost. For trucks (all f-150) as long as I wasn't pulling a load or didn't have more than 300 lbs in the bed if I kept my foot out of it they got better fuel mileage. If you put 500 lbs in the bed or hooked up a trailer mileage went to worse than what a 5.0L N/A would get and the performance went down the tubes. With the cars all were front wheel drive and like the truck if you kept your foot out of it it did OK around town. Where they both excelled was on the road, preferably fairly flat lands, and about 65 mph is where they all seemed to have a sweat spot for fuel economy. I commonly got 22-25 mpg with the Fusion around town and 37 on the road. If I pushed the road speed up to 70 then it dropped to 35 and at 75 it was down to 33. At 80 mph I was down around 28.
