Riden and a guiden

The computer finally straighten out on mine. It's only getting between 19 and 20 mpg. The computer is now also showing about the same.

Thanks for the video. My window came loose this winter after we got a little freezing rain and was frozen when she tried to roll it down. From the vid I assume I just need to tighten the two holding screws.

Yes, I have a GPS I can check it by. I actually didn't think about the tire size until after I had already left. The speedometer is not noticeably off if it is. The tires look normal but never really checked closely on size other than i did notice at a glance that they don't seem quite as wide as I've seen for stock tires. I will look closer when I get back in.

It actually went up one and showed 36 before I reset it Thursday. Topped off the tank and wrote the mileage down. I had to leave right away but she told me when she got home this evening it was back up to 30MPG. The computer must be not working correctly. It had new tires on it when we picked it up. I will check the size when I get back to make sure they are original height and not throwing it off. When she has to refill the tank she will give me the gallons and mileage, then will know for sure. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining if it is. Lol,but I don't believe it. Although I will have to say it is so lacking in power it ought to get decent fuel mileage

Like I said, it was showing 21MPG when we picked it up two weeks ago and haven't reset it yet. I have to say I almost hate to even if it's wrong. Lol

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think it could be accurate. It is a AWD. I will say it was showing 21 MPG when we picked it up. I will do a manual check.

I've tried to look through the site on fuel mileage and seem to only find threads on the subject when someone is having an issue with bad fuel mileage. Am I correct in assuming the average is around 20mpg. My next question is how accurate is the dash read out showing mpg. I only ask because I bought the car for the little woman just a couple weeks ago and I work out of town through the week so haven't been able to manually check fuel efficiency. When I got in it this weekend The dash reads 35 mpg, and if that's even close to accurate then I'm impressed. I have to say that it is driven in best case scenario for as optimal fuel mileage. 3 miles down a two lane country road at 55mph, 15 miles down the interstate, then about a half mile to her job which only consist of two stop lights. Is that kind of milage possible or is the read out way off.

Thanks, I apologize for the double post.

What I have found out so for is the shifter is all electronic, which makes perfect sense now. This one has about a two second delay before allowing to pull out of park. Is that the norm on these?

By the way, thank you for replying. Yes the brake lights come on with a soft pedal. One thing I should mention. When we test drove it I had noticed a little chrome piece, that I thought was just a cover for the screw. Now I know it is the manual release button for the shifter. Like most cars today, you must push the brake to get it out of park. At first I thought it was the shifter itself. I actually bought it for the little woman. Now that she knows what to do she has not had a problem getting it out of park, but I would like to fix it before it gets worse. Like I said, brake lights work properly but must really firmly stand on the pedal before you feel it release in the shifter. I wish I could be more helpful. I work out of town during the week and have personally only drove it twice.

The reason I think it is a brake sensor is because you can't shift out of park unless you're pressing the brake. You can feel it in the shifter when it disengages. You actually have to push the brake fairly firmly. I cannot answer about the fluid change as we just bought the car. It has a 120,000 miles on it, but would never know if you didn't look at the odometer.

We have a 2008 edge SEL plus. The only problem we have had with it is it sometimes is hard getting out of park. Can the brake sensor be adjusted?
