Last year, Ford sold more than 127,000 EcoBoost-equipped vehicles. Using some of the same technologies found in diesel engines, EcoBoost can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent over larger, conventional engines. This year, Ford is expanding its EcoBoost engine technology to not only Escape but Fusion as well.
Many online users have hundreds of âfriendsâ or âfollowersâ on sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The average number of Facebook friends is 130, according to the social-networking site, although many have thousands of associates online.

Researchers believe that the number of Facebook friends you have can reveal you social status, and how often you move home.
