    How exactly does this "signal the start of a fuel-economy battle"? It's one new engine... Ford's ecoboost has been around for a while already. No, if there *is* a battle, it started years ago when truck highway fuel economy started creeping into the 20s. GM, I think, was the first.

    I am willing to bet that real world mileage for this engine is MUCH better than the EB in the Ford.
