#19 of 37 Real MPG by markan Aug 07, 2007 (4:41 pm)
We have 1200 miles on our Edge FWD. On a recent 600 mile trip with some mountain and city driving (10%) we got 24.3 MPG. The computer was reading around 24 but actual economy was a little better with 90% of the driving 75 to 80 mph.

Is there a break in period before you start to see an mpg above 20? Replies to this message: akirby (Dec 05, 2007 1:10 pm) mcq1 (Dec 06, 2007 1:26 pm)

Replying to: mcq1 (Dec 05, 2007 1:03 pm) Duratec engines typically take 3k-5k before they reach maximum MPG. They're pretty tight when new. Replies to this message: mcq1 (Dec 06, 2007 1:26 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Dec 05, 2007 1:10 pm) Thanks for the response. I am not to worried about it since I love my edge but it will be nice to get a bit better mpg later on.
#26 of 37 22/23 mpg... by fmichael May 11, 2008 (12:27 am)
...however I'm driving mostly on the hwy just under 75 mph in my 2007 FWD SE. Sure is easy doing 85 mph if you're not paying attention
#27 of 37 Re: Rented Edge from Hertz low mileage [fomocona] by del888 Jul 06, 2008 (6:14 pm)
Replying to: fomocona (Aug 02, 2007 5:02 am) 2008 Edge AWD   Have 1,600 miles on it and Have gotten about 14.4 between approx. 50% HWY 50% street. That saying afternoon driving highway in NY is like driving in street. It seems to do well in traffic.   I was getting about 12.2 with my Explorer. Still have not been on any long trips but will be doing a coupl;e soon for about 900 miles, that will help the break in period and give me a better idea.   I hope it does better in the street after it breaks in a while. It should because my Explorer gave me 20.6 on the HWY after it was 3 years old. Not bad for such a large truck, but in the streets it got me 12.2.   I would think that the Edge might get me 14.6 after I put some more miles on it, that is very close to what it is rated at. So I guess they have improved the rating procedure from what it was. Not bad but could be better. But I'm comfortable in my Crossover sure not know Rav-4, its quiet and its comfortable and woreth the extra $500 - $600 a year. Especially with my back problems. Thats about an extra $50 a month to give me the comfort I need.   I must say its a nice comfortable rding vehicle but 12.2 to 14.5 is not that big of deal but I knew that when I bought it. I also have a 5 year power-train that I did not have on the Explorer. And the Edge seems like it is ok mechanically, we'll see.
