My Fit would get 'infinity' MPGs sometimes. Downhill, DFCO activated, if the hill never ended I would never burn any gas. w00t! Unrealistic, but great fun. My STi on the other hand will go from 20-ish MPG steady state to darned near gallons-per-mile with the noise pedal floored. Also w00t!

I look forward to hearing how your long trip turns out. Then is when we see how well the truck does at a steady state, bare, in moderate weather.

Ditto that. I'm rooting for Ford bigtime. The company is taking tremendous risks with their big push for lower weight and higher fuel economy in the F-Series trucks. It's a huge step, a game changer. Everyone else is chasing. Maybe some other truck will top them in MPGs or some other stat, but that will only be because Ford made that stat matter by putting it at the top of their list. Not to mention that their use of aluminum will probably bring that material into much more regular use in vehicles at all price points -- not just the luxo cruisers.
