    While the 2.0 ecoboost has been listed as an option for at least a couple of months for the Taurus,the fuel economy was listed as 'TBD'. Well, I gave it a check today, and Ford had some numbers listed.

    22 city and 32 highway mpg

    A highway number of 30+ was expected, but not a big improvement over the Chrysler/Dodge 31 highway. City and combined of this ecoboost are 2 to 3 mpg over the V6 Taurus and the closest large sedans. Doesn't sound like much to most here, but these are large, heavy vehicles.

    The new ecoboost isn't on the EPA site yet, but here are the competitors:
