Hasn’t surprised sofar, don’t think that this is going to be any different, just like it didn’t destroy the 3.6 in highway MPG under mild EPA testing. Again, it takes a lot of effort to overcome drag, so none of them will be resting while trying to do 75.I dunno - with an 8spd auto and a torque curve as fat as it sound like it’ll be, the 2.0 might not be doing as much work @80mph as you’d think...
Ecoboosts have a similarly flattish and fattish torque curve and display the same issue with real world highway mileage, and the F-series is nowhere near as much of a parachuted-brick as the Wrangler at highway speed, and off boost those are big NA engines too that should be able to handle highway speed without breaking a sweat.
It would also be interesting to see how the Hurricane would perform in the city without the BSG’s contribution which likely plays a big role in that number too. I am looking forward to seeing next year’s numbers with both engines benefiting from the BSG.
