Thats what I was wondering and what I asked what people were using other then MPH,RPM since they are already there on those big round gauges. Lots of options so its just a matter of deciding what is practical.

mine are set rpm, timing, frp, tct. I like to be able to see fuel and timing @ rpm. This is usually just for full throttle romps.

this is actually pretty interesting seeing your prefences.Most seem to have about two choices that are common from the posts I have seen and then the other two are a mish mash of choices. I like it. I would say at this point i would be leaning towards ECT,EOT,TFT,AMPG.

MPH, ECT, EOT, TFT I have to have mph casue my speedo is off 3mph high compaired to the digital reading on the edge. I read on another post, its becasue the way its indexed.... Like there are little teeth on the needle....I wonder if i could take it off and re-index it... i would like it to be on so i can display somthing else....I varified all speeds with GPS if anyone's wondering....And its 3mph off at all speeds.... so its not tire size, or gear selection..... I was also told the digital signal going to edge is the same as the one going to the speedo...I know the edge is on!

Sweet Mach 1 Man. The 70 model is pretty sweet but I am a big 69 fan.I just think the body style of those years is timeless. Not a huge car, not boxy, not dated just awesome.I would love to get my hands on a well conditioned 69 Mach 1 someday and do some restomod action on it. Would love to see some more pics of the 70 in your gallery though. Eng,Int,etc.

IMPG gives you the second-to-second gas mileage. I find it useful for adjusting my driving style to achieve the best MPG. AMPG is simply the average of your overall MPG (since the last reset), so it provides the "big picture" of your driving habits. AMPG is the mileage you can expect to calculate when you refill your tank (i.e., if you reset your Edge when you refill your tank).

By receiving the instantaneous feedback on your driving habits obtained from IMPG, you should be able to improve your AMPG.

I currently monitor EOT, TFT, IMPG, and AMPG on my Edge.

Resetting the AMPG reading is *not* the same as resetting/reloading a custom tune. You can easily reset the AMPG readout without changing your customized tune.

To reset the AMPG reading, just press ENTER from the main display. You will be asked to either confirm the reset of AMPG (press ENTER again) or cancel (press MENU).
