feelin edgy Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I know you are just running the programmer for the gas mileage, but when you say your edge hauls ass, can you please estimate a 0-60 time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelin edgy Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the info evil. I will have to google up what the stock edge is supposed to do. Well, that looks about a second faster than stock. Thanks again for the info. Edited October 26, 2009 by feelin edgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike08EDGE Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Same here... 4200 miles on our 2008 Limited BAMR W/20's. On our longest highway trip to date 2.5 hours we saw 21MPG. Hoping that the engine breaks in further and gives up better mileage I have the same car - bought in on Sept 3 of this year (2009) brand new with 40 miles on it. I am now at 1400 miles and haven't done better than 20mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marccom Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Hi, my Eddie (FWD) is driven here in Germany in quite rural area...with a few hills and so on. I just realize few days ago that my dealer put a wrong tirepressure on my tires...only 30.5 PSI (2.1 bar). Normal is 35 PSI (2.45 bar) on 245/60R18. My average mpg (US) is 17.6 (13.5 L/100km) till yet. In the beginning were 21 or 22 mpg (10,7 - 11,5 L/100km) possible, too...but only without much hills...on straight and flat roads. Interestant is that i realize that Eddie's mileage is not very bad influenced by city driving...so far it is not brutal stop and go. Shortly I put the tire pressure on 37 PSI (2.55 bar). I will tell you if the mileage will become better in next weeks. Greets from Germany Marc Edited December 23, 2009 by Marccom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stress01 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have a 2010 Sport AWD with 22 inch wheels. It only has about 800-900 miles on it. I've been averaging about 13-14 mpg around town. I haven't had it on any long highway drives yet so i don't know what kind of mileage it get. I sure hope the city mileage goes up. I had a 2006 Infinti G35X and it averaged 16-17 mpg around town. I was hoping the Edge would get at least that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmilw Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 In mid January I took my 2010 SEL on a 1900 mile trip. At the start, it had 1,800 miles on it. It was almost exclusive highway driving, typically driving 5 mph over the posted speed. I checked my MPG at each fill up, and consistently got 22 MPG. The exception was gas I purchased in Indiana, which got 26 MPG. Their gas pumps did not have any stickers on them stating there was ethanol in it. I bought gas in Indiana on the return trip with the same result. All the other gas I bought came from pumps indicating 10% ethanol. On a side note, the MPG from the computer was pretty close to what I was getting by doing the math at each fill up. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyBao Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I just got my '08 last Friday. On the 4.5 hour ride home all interstate, I got 23 MPG. Then on the next tank, it was mixed 50/50 highway/city and I got 19 MPG. So I expect all city driving to dip to around 15 MPG. Oh, I have an SEL AWD by the way.

kenoking1 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I just finished a round trip from Ohio to Las Vegas in my 08 Limited. With a oil change and inflating my 20' tires to 38 psi, I averaged 22.2 mpg. When you get west of Iowa, the speed limit jumps to 75. So that average of 22.2 is based on 70 to 80-85 mph.

1fordan Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Wow those MPG figures are unbelieveable. Haven't had mine on a road trip yet but 30 miles to the gallon doesn't seem possible!! 2002 SEL with 22in wheels. city/highyway driving get 19-22mpg each tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryTwoUtes Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 On my wife's 2008 AWD Limited, up here at 5200-7200 ft elevations, probably 75% highway getting 22 mpg according to the car's computer. That is also with the winter blend gas that usually knocks off 1-2 mpg in most vehicles. Hope to see it warm up soon and also get back to real gas instead of this watered down ethanol blend for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Domingues Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 2007 AWD 60k miles | Recent trip from Baltimore to NYC I averaged 20.5 mpg on the Jersey Turnpike. However, my daily driving habits and normal commute to work, highway however rarely hit 50 mph (damn dc commuters) my avg is "Calculated" at 16 mpg. I have even recorded as low as 12 mpg when it was a full tank of gas of just running around town. (My wife drove it for two weeks before we realized the lousy gas mileage.)

LFJ2025 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) What is the realistic MPG of the Edge in FWD vs AWD? Ford specs it to be a 1 MPG difference in the city, 2 on the highway. I found a fully loaded AWD, where I may not need it as I have a 4x4 Dodge Diesel, it could come in handy. The first year I had my MKX AWD I was disappointed in the mileage ( 15 city & 19.5 trips ). At 10,000 miles I had the PTU unit replaced & switched to syn oil. I now get 17 city, I have not been on a trip this year yet. The trip computer on my car always reads higher than the actual mileage.

They are between the air filter and the throttle body and adjust the mixture for whatever airflow is available! If the engine had a standard carburetor, then I'd believe your numbers!

Punerrus Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi- Just joined the forum. '08 SEL FWD w/36K on the odo. Seeing around 18.6 on the on-board computer, mostly around town stop-n-go. I also track it w/every fill up; see my findings here: http://www.fuelly.co...r/punerrus/edge Great vehicle, really enjoy the space, power, and overall looks. Traded a newer Camry for this Edge and don't miss the Toyota a bit. ~P~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AderitoGomes Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) What is the realistic MPG of the Edge in FWD vs AWD? Ford specs it to be a 1 MPG difference in the city, 2 on the highway. I found a fully loaded AWD, where I may not need it as I have a 4x4 Dodge Diesel, it could come in handy. My 2011 ford edge selAWD was on average 19mpg City and 25 Hyway.- I recently added a high intake exhaust and both dropped from city 15 mpg to hyway 19 MPG. I was under the assumption less restriction better milage sounds like common sense but the Fuel display shows different.

PrinzII Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 '08 SE FWD Stock 17" wheels on Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires (Soon to be replaced by Pirelli Scorpion Verde) Did rough calculations and I am averaging between 20-22 city (Granted, most of my commute is mostly highway) and somewhere between 26-28 highway.

Dr Fildo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have a 2008 AWD, 20" rims. 3-4 fill-ups, 50/50 city/hwy driving. We average about 17 MPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK ICE Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 My family makes a few trips East or South a year . Its usually an 8-12 hour trip and if loaded lightly we have seen 28 mpg avg with 18s and Michelins . If average payload to fully loaded we get 25 mpg highway . I'd say we get 22-23 in mixed driving with a FWD 2008 model . Have seen 18 mpg HWY once in cold , rainy , hilly conditions and lots of traffic in PA .
