I remember the '05-'11 Brazilian F-250 regular-cab with a 203hp Cummins ISB3.9 and a 5-speed manual transmission could get 30 MPG around 50 MPH (and that was the 4WD), but considering the advances in aerodynamic and weight savings in this F-150 (plus the engine is nearly a quarter smaller in displacement) it's still quite impressive that it manages to do so with an automatic.
