Ford Edge observed fuel economy of 16.9 on a model that's supposed to get 19/27 is pretty low, but typical of truck-like vehicles. Only, this vehicle touts its good fuel economy as an eco-friendly alternative to bigger, body-on-frame SUV's. I realize MT was probably going a little heavy on the throttle while testing, but this is just too low to justify moving away from the far more capable and comfortable Expedition/Tahoe choices. Unfortunately, this scenario is not just limited to the Edge, we see this with nearly every vehicle. When it comes to crossovers, I guess you should just find a vehicle's city fuel economy and plan on getting that for most of your daily driving- too bad because 25-ish in this vehicle sounds really good!
