I am only reading up on the F150 EB engine, and note that the max advertised mileage is only 'attainable' by the trucks with the right ratio gears. In the Edge, almost no one is going to try towing much with them and the ads might be right on. I drove a Mazda CX7 with the turbo four and I chickened out at 118mph and climbing--yet, it was getting 25mph when I drove it normally.
Go drive one and see what its like.

May have to test drive when time permits, but dealer lot test drives never really amount to much to me .. Real world feeback from one whom drives its daily would be better suited for me. Just saying.
I own a ecoboost F150 and love it, I also drive a ecoboost Edge. It was a good drive, quick acceleration. The only reason I did not buy, we specifically wanted a Sport model, and the sport did not come with ecoboost, just a 3.7 v6. Otherwise, I would own a ecoboost edge. Its a good combo, power, economy, great passing gear.

My mom picked up a 2012 Edge ecoboost and so far it has been hitting right around the 30 mpg mark, sometimes a little lower, sometimes a little higher.

I probably should add that those are mostly highway miles. It has over 15,000 miles on it already.
