Dude, whats your zip code???

Gosh, GM, huh??? Here is waindow stcker for the Edge FWD LMTD w/PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF. No it does not actually get hot in the car because of the vista roof. It's some special kind of glass. You have the options of AWD or FWD in an SE, SEL & LMTD. FRW is cheaper and the SE model is the cheapest. It cost almost $2K to get the Vista Roof. The A&Z pricing on this perticular model is $31,479.45. The cheapest A&Z I was able to find with the Vista roof was $27,579.75. The vista is not an option on the SE models. You would also get the standard rebate. I have it at work, but it ranges from $1500-$3000 or low APR...blahblah.

Estimated Annual Fuel Cost: $ 2,209 CITY MPG 16 HIGHWAY MPG 24 Vehicle Engine Information Actual mileage will vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle's condition. Results reported to EPA indicate that the majority of vehicles with these estimates will achieve between 13 and 19 mpg in the city and between 19 and 29 mpg on the highway. For Comparison Shopping all vehicles classified as have been issued mileage ratings from 08 to 31 mpg city and 12 to 29 mpg highway.

The 08 AWD Edge SEL gets 15 city 22 hwy mpg. I seriously doubt you are going to keep it under lowering your RPM's would work, since the highway mileage is better. The FWD SEL would only get you about 2 more MPG. There is nothing you can add to the vehicle that would get you better gas mileage. When did you buy the Edge? You could trade it in for an Escape Hybrid, which gets 20 city & 26 Hwy. Ford will not be selling the Edge in 09, it is changing to the Flex. The Flex has a slighlt higher MPG for city and hwy. If your sticking to Ford, I would suggest not try to keep your rpm's down, just dont accelerate to quickly and try to do the usual things to avoid getting stuck in traffic(impossible.) Just to let you know - Ford just released information regarding a recall on 08 model Edge and MKX AWD vehicles built from June 13, 2008 to June 17, 2008. There are only about 142 affected vehicles.The reason for the recall is a small cavity or surface depression may have developed outside the fuel tank at the location of a spot weld during the manufacturing. The small cavity or depression may cause fuel weepage or drip from the tank. Fuel in the presence of an ignition source could cause a fire. The information regarding vehicles sold was released to dealers June 27th. You can contact Ford or your local Ford dealership if you purchased your vehicle after the dates listed above.
