Naw, seriously, I started off yearning for a ford fiesta but my wife said no way you're getting an F-150. I thought I could break her over time....like water on stone. 15 months later I had to raise the white flag (she's obviously tougher than me)....and bought an F-150. Got the 3.7l super cab 2WD and with only 700 miles on the odometer I can get a solid 23mpg on the highway, 18-19 to work and back (5 miles, 7 stoplights, 45mph max speed, cold engine both ways). I think I'll be able to do better as she breaks in. Over 300HP, it'll wind out to 7000RPM and let out a beautiful sound, pull 6000#'s, haul stuff, and it really drives nicely. It's not gonna get you 40mpg...but I think it's the best option in trucks. The 3.7L engine isn't available in 4WD Supercrew...you've gotta go super cab or 2wd (sorry) but if you really need 4WD and Supercrew then the ecoboost got me the same mileage during test drives in town....as long as you don't spin up the turbos.
