Edge and MPG

Does anyone know which level on the Edge will give you the best MGP level 3 or level 2. I am running level 3 with some custom tune settings, would level 2 give me better MPG along with slightly cheaper fuel?

I have had mine for 6 months.

Level 2 with 87 octane has given me the best mileage.

Level 3 was just too tempting. I kept getting on the throttle so I really don't know what it would be with normal driving.

Good Luck

Level one is just transmission adjustments.

I've had the best results from level 2, but a large part of that is probably due to keeping my foot out of it a bit more. I don't have the same restraint on level 3.

Since I'm at altitude I can run level 2 at 85 octane and level 3 at 88 octane. My mileage has stayed the same basically. Still getting about 15.5 mpg ,1/2 city, 1/2 highway. I do have a volant cai and I do go WOT every now and then.

level 3

Allright I have done some test and through watching the load instand MPG and adverage MPG at stedy cruse control speeds I have found that level three gives me on adverage a 1-2 mpg increase. Also at 50 with the cruse set I get a steady almost 29mpg pretty good I think.

I get about the same reading due to the truck lolling along at about 1,400 RPM. The Edge seems to read a bit high though.
