  1. I went to Napa to get a new air filter and the one they found in their system for my 2015 wasn't even close in size. They then searched for a 2016 and found what appears to be the right dimensions but their filter has a layer of cotton on the bottom of it (similar to what was mentioned earlier about a pre-filter) but the stock filter doesn't have this cotton at all. I've never seen a filter like the Napa one before.

     

    My stock filter has lines of glue on it in the same area where the Napa filter has the cotton glued on but no cotton.

  2. Could be. I just filled up and saw a 1.10mpg increase from my last fill up but the mileage on this tank was still average. That was the furthest I've gone on a tank of gas since December but still nothing earth shattering. Oh well. Figured it was worth a shot. I don't think I've ever put anything more than 87 in a car before so I figured it was worth a shot to see what would happen in this case.

  3. I put 91 in at my last fill up. I couldn't believe the price difference between 87 and 91. I'll be filling up again today but will go back to 87. I don't know if it was just butt dyno or what, but the engine seemed a bit more lively on the 91.

     

    There was one improvement that I know for a fact, however. On 87 every day when approaching the highway on ramp at around 45-50mph, there's a noticeable RPM surge with the motor under load. It'll rev a little higher, drop back down, and then rev up again. You can watch the needle move. On 91 that occurrence seems to have disappeared.

  4. I've been running 87 in mine since I purchased it. It had 411 miles on it when I bought it and now has 6,300 miles on it. I'm due for a fill up today and may try higher octane, just for kicks. I've been tracking my mileage after the first tank or two and have been averaging 21.4mpg. Granted my Edge is AWD and I bought it in September, so a lot of the mileage has been on winter blend fuel and snow tires.

  5. Mine seemed to scratch pretty easily and I had a hard time attempting to remove the scratches. A plastic lanyard for a brush at the manual car wash hit the fenders and bumper of mine and left pretty noticeable scratches. You can't feel them with your finger so I figured they weren't that deep. But I tried two different scratch removers without success. There must have been some dirt on the lanyard itself and it didn't brush up against the Edge too hard, so it didn't take much to scratch it.

     

    Other than that I've noticed no issues with the paint.

  6. I bought WeatherTechs for the front of my Edge and installed them yesterday. They look and fit great. This is my first ever set of WeatherTechs so I'm looking forward to having them this winter. With the lease, I didn't want to take the chance of destroying the stock carpeting and having to pay for it later. I had all season rubber mats in my Jeep before this but they didn't have a sidewall, thus allowing for the carpet to still get salt build up. That salt is tough stuff to get out.
