2011 Edge to lead class in mileage

Ford projects that its 2011 Ford Edge midsize crossover will get 18 m.p.g. in the city and 27 m.p.g. on the highway, which the company said matches or beats any V6 competitor in its class.

The projected fuel efficiency is for the Edge's 3.5-liter V6 engine, which produces 285 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque.

Comparable versions of the 2010 Toyota Venza get 19 city and 26 highway m.p.g., while the Honda Crosstour gets 18 city/27 highway m.p.g., the Nissan Murano gets 18 city/23 highway m.p.g. and the six-cylinder Chevrolet Equinox gets 17 m.p.g. in the city, 25 m.p.g. on the highway.
