Are guys really getting 22mpg out of their ecoboosts? Just curious. I'll be looking for something by the end of the year, and all fo this interests me.
If you can find a CNG conversion (dual fuel) you'll likely get 20 if the real world number is 17. But at a $1.50 per gge who cares? Now the real question is what would the mileage cost be out of the new Dodge diesel with CNG because it works fantastic in diesels too.
Personally I'm glad I'm holding out for a couple more years at least. I've been waiting on a half ton diesel option since the early '80s. When Ford came out with their EcoBoost I thought that with CNG it would be the way to go, and it would still be a great option if only our frakking EPA would certify a system or get the f*** out of our way. They have conversions in Canada yet we don't. There are shops that have them working here but who's going to add one if it kills the warranty on a 50K truck? Whichever way you go, keep CNG in mind, it is a seriously cost efficient fuel. It is running $1.39 at the pump by my house, but I think that's the cheapest pump in the state. Most are around $1.50-1.60'ish.
