I get about 10mpg around town and 12mpg highway. But I don't have mine geared, which I would recommend doing. I am planning on doing that soon with some 4.56's. The mpg might improve after that, but not sure until I try it.

I get about 12 mpg in city driving and about 15-16 mpg on the interstates. I just did a 3600 mile family vacation with mine a month ago and saw a low of 13 mpg's to a high of over 17 mpg's.

I noticed it a little, and it is more sluggish on the freeway. Gears will take care of that.

Thank you..... I like the Edge and the fact I can reprogram to correct the speedo. I think it does a great job especially for the price. I believe the xcal II is better form reading on the forums but is a little more money.

Sorry, changing the subject. Does changing the gears help or help your gas mileage and why?
