You can get eco, or boost. Ecoboosts can be very good mileage makers, but you have to be judicious about it. They're a bit of legal chicanery, as most modern turbo engines are, able to perform well on government tests. Automakers care about those numbers, not so much about what they get when they're out in the wild.
