Thanks to you all for your comments and input, some of it very scientific. In the end what bothers me is that the vehicle was advertised at sale for 32mpg be it Imperial (Canadian) or American gallons; and that the Ford dealership can hook it to a computer and come up with 30mpg at 60mph: and then advise to just try to drive a consistent 60mph to prove their point, I don't know how prevalent this type of disparity is with other car makers or for that matter other Ford products, but I may just spend some internet time to learn more.

Thanks for your response. I have never seen the 23mpg figure before, I did see 25 on a website, forgotten where, below what the Ford company claims and can measure with their computers. Do you remember where you saw this figure? Jeff

My 2010 ford edge AWD is getting at best 20.3 mpg. It has been from Canada to Florida and back. My dealer hooked it to the computer and told me it is getting 30.1 hwy mpg at 60 mph. We do the speed limits on the Interstates which is 70 mph and I don't understand how our mpg can be 33% or more off what was claimed when I purchased, or as the result of the dealers computer test shows. Any advice or comment would be appreciated, anyone with a similar concern. Jeff
