PGSberg

500 miles on my 2011 Ford Edge FWD. First tank less than 15 mpg. This tank is running at 16 mpg. My 07 Audi Q7 never got less than 19 in the mixed city daily commute and that thing was very heavy. The 4Runner I had before that almost always got 21 mpg mixed. These are mpgs out of the box. No break-in period. So far I am NOT impressed with the mpg. At 70 mph the rpm is around 2K. I would expect much better. Other than a door rattle, a grill out of alignment and a ill fitting third brake light the car has impressed me with how solid it feels.

Just bought a 2011 Edge Limited on 30 May. Everything but AWD and rear seat DVD. I replaced a 2007 Audi Q7. Wanted to downsize, go back to 87 octane and better mpg. Looked at a new Explorer but didn't want to spend 50k+. I slid in a 36" black step into the tow hitch receiver. Doesn't interfere with rear backup sensors. Can see it through the camera. I figure if someone taps my rear I only have to replace the step ($90). I've been lucky so far with my previous 2 SUVs. I have 2 initial quality control issues to have the dealer look at. 1 - Looking down at the front of the hood, the grill isn't aligned the the same on both ends. 2 - The third brake light under the spoiler looks to have been clumsily installed. I hope this is all I run into. I have never owned a Ford before.
