Edge programmer

I have an Edge on my 04 cupercrew, and have noticed a MPG difference onit vs the truck. What is the correct MPG? Is there any way to fix this?

It takes quite a few driving cycles for the Edge to build a history for that reading to be close.

It takes 4 full tanks of gas to get the average.
That means don't reset after each fill up.

And, to be fair, you may NEVER see an accurate value in the Edge MPG value. Little measurement errors can make a big difference.

I have had it on the truck for over a month now, and have given it enough time but it is still about 1mpg off at times.
