Amazing gas mileage! 2.0 AWD ecoboost

[Old Man]

We ecos aren't suppose to talk about gas mileage, it makes the hybrid guys mad. They are getting 80 to 90 mpg on the highway and 1,200 miles per tank. Oh yeah, that's when they're being towed by an eco.

I like reading all the comments thinking people buy AWD vehicles just for the fact there is snow. I like my AWD vehicles just as I do my Jeeps. There is a proper tool for every situation and AWD will out accelerate, and typically out handle a FWD vehicle in most situations. Most people do not realize due to the ever loving EPA that most FWD vehicles are open differentials and spin just one wheel under power. The problem with most modern vehicles is people DO NOT KNOW how to operate traction control and know when to turn it off in the snow. They should rename Traction Control something like Brake Assisted Driving BAD for short.
I do get your point however there are a lot of folks who buy them for adverse weather and while I do drive mine in all weather, I like the AWD aspects in all situations not just for adverse weather.

If you don't mind, I would like to add that the AWD increases ground clearance, not by much but still higher then the hybrid model. Also the AWD gets an upgrade on rear suspension that you can appreciate year round on and off the road.
