Has anyone had problems with very poor gas mileage? MY 2008 edge is averaging 13.5 mpg with 45k miles. Trans has had firmware update and solenoid replaced. Shift pattern is sloppy. After battery cable is removed for 24 hrs. trans «learns» new shift pattern. Shifts better for about 3 days then reverts to old ways. Any help would be appreciated. Mark.

Thanks for the reply. They replaced the trans sensor 479975, control 400029, gasket,cover, and seal. As far as crappy ethonal gas goes. When I had my Focus rental, it was registering 22mpg with the same v6 engine. Something else is happening here.

Thanks for your reply. There are no tuneups anymore. A 3 year old car in California with no weather issues should not need plug wires, plugs. By the way a 45k car will not lose gas mileage. The mileage stays about the same over the life of the car as long as you keep it maintained. You are the 2nd person who has mentioned Sea Foam. I have never heard of it, but will give it a try.

Gas mileage depends on a number of factors. Are you driving stoplight to stoplight or long highwaydistances between stops? Do you drive only a mile or two and shut down for a while (like while at work/shopping/etc) or over 8-10 miles each way or more? Did you drive the other car the same way or was this on a vacation with different driving style/routes? I live in a small town in central Illinois and consistently see 18-19 in our «city» mode. On hiway depending on wind direction, 24-26 is normal below 65 mph. Over 70 costs 1.5 mpg. (I drive 70-75 on the interstate anyway). As for tune ups, get those plugs changed in 50,000 if for no other reason than so they don’t sieze up in the aluminum head. The plenum has to come off for access to the rear set but its a small expense compared to removing a head to remove a broken plug or two! Seafoam is great stuff. I use it in everything a couple times/year. Lawn mowers, tractors, race car and daily drivers. As for the ethanol, yes, it does affect mileage a bit but doesn’t affect power output at all. The computer compensates to the difference in burn properties. It just takes a little more ethanol to make same heat as gasoline. However, it will also absorb up to 100% of its own volume in water so it will keep your fuel system dry and clean in most cases. I have a hot rod that runs on 85%, runs cooler, goes like stink and doesn’t stink up the air as much!

Yes I’m having horritlbe MPG on my 08 Edge. Got it for better fuel economy and can’t get better than 15 mpg. around 30k miles on it. I was going to wait to see what kind of mpg this tank gets and after that start investigating. Please let me know if you figure anything out. It is supposed to get a combined 19 mpg. My 06 F350 was doing better on the freeway that my edge. Some fluke thing with these edges

I have 6500 miles on 2012 edge Ecoboost. My MPG is from 14.9 — 17.4 if I drive extremely conservative. My Aurora V8 (1999) got 19 MPG, same gas, same traffic. Edge gas problem is extremely annoying. Was at the dealer 2x with charts and gas logs, dealer says all is good with the car. I think the MPG propaganda is just that. Its rigged.

I just got a used ford edge 08. This is the worse car i have ever owned. I get about 13 mpg. I cant afford to go anywhere. We were joy riders before this car. Now i have to choose to buy gas ride a nice ride and come straight home because there is no money left for restaurants etc. Or stay local. Ive done tune up. Im having tranny slippage but no codes and all 3 shops say there is no problem.cant afford to change trans.filter because its in the transmission and cant afford to change a fuel filter because its in the tank.dont know if this is common placement of these parts or if i am just stupid.i hate this car.and im stuck with it.
It’s likely that as a driver in Plainfield, Indianapolis, or Brownsburg, Indiana, you have an appreciation for an SUV with efficient performance. That’s where the 2020 Ford Edge comes in. It certainly has what it takes in terms of its fuel economy, engine capabilities, and advanced features, blending bold performance with impressive MPG.
Tato spotřeba paliva Edge je odhadem EPA 21 městských MPG a 29 dálničních MPG, když je vybaven 2.0litrovým motorem EcoBoost® a EPA odhadem 19 městských MPG a 26 dálničních MPG, když je vybaven dostupným 2.7litrovým motorem V6 EcoBoost® .
The team at Andy Mohr Ford is here to tell you what other specs affect the miles per gallon of this SUV, so you can better decide if it’s the right ride for your daily drive.
Ford Edge MPG and Engine Specs
With the Ford Edge, there are two engines from which you can choose. The one that comes standard is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine. It exhibits a maximum output of 250 horsepower along with 280 lb-ft of torque. When in front-wheel drive, you’ll get the most out of your fuel tank with an EPA-estimated 21 city MPG and 29 highway MPG.
One of the ways this powertrain achieves such superior efficiency is through Auto Start-Stop Technology. This system seamlessly shuts the engine off when your vehicle is idling, like at a stoplight or in rush-hour traffic. When movement resumes, your motor will restart and have you on your way, all while conserving fuel.
Looking to take your excursion off the beaten path? Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available on this SUV to provide additional traction through slick conditions such as rain, snow, and sleet. With this system, you’ll get extra control while still maintaining an EPA-estimated 21 city MPG and 28 highway MPG.
The Edge is also available with a 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost® engine that can generate as much as 335 horsepower with 380 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is mated to Intelligent AWD and earns an EPA-estimated 19 city MPG and 26 highway MPG, so you roam far and wide with confidence.
How Many Miles Can You Travel in the Edge?
In addition to two efficient yet commanding motor options, you’ll also find a large 18.5-gallon fuel tank of the 2020 Ford Edge. Therefore, you can expect to travel nearly 540 highway miles on one tank of gas alone—think of all the road trip possibilities!
Other Aspects of Performance Worth Noting
The Ford Edge is designed to enhance your driving experience. One way it accomplishes this is by providing you with ample support in the event you’re planning on using it for towing. In terms of its towing capacity, it ranges from 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds depending on the engine you choose.
Some of the items you can haul with this type of muscle include:
- A lightly loaded utility trailer filled with home improvement supplies
- A pop-up tent trailer or lightweight travel trailer for a weekend escape
- A small aluminum boat for a fishing outing with friends
- A couple of jet skis or snowmobiles for unforgettable getaways
Additionally, there’s the available Class II Trailer Tow Package that includes Trailer Sway Control to make towing easier and more controlled. This valuable feature can detect and counter any swaying that might be taking place to ensure a stable towing experience.
Looking for a sportier ride? The Edge ST comes with a selectable Sport Mode to create a more invigorating ride. Revised electronic throttle programming creates more responsive handling and sharper engine braking to turn your SUV into a sports car. Enhanced active noise control then produces a more aggressive engine noise inside your cabin to create a more hands-on, engaging driving experience every time you step behind the wheel.
A Few Tips for Maximum Gas Mileage
As an additional convenience, we’ve provided you with some advice in making sure you’re getting the most out of this already impressively efficient SUV:
- pozor na rychlost: Driving too fast tends to put a lot of unnecessary demand on the engine, causing fuel economy to be reduced. Try driving at a consistently lower speed to conserve fuel over time and make the most of your fuel tank.
- Carry a lighter load: Carrying extra weight also harms fuel economy. If you tend to let things pile up inside the cabin, be sure to clean it out from time to time. Additionally, make sure you’re only towing when necessary. Toting around hefty loads puts a greater strain on your vehicle, causing it to work harder and burn more fuel.
- Change the engine air filter: It’s recommended that the engine filter be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Doing this will ensure that it remains free of harmful dirt and debris and continues to perform at the highly efficient level you expect.
- Stay up to date on auto service: Another auto service you should be sure to get at the proper interval is an engine oil change. When oil is dirty or old it may not function properly and cause your engine to work harder to compensate—leading to greater fuel use. Making sure you’re caring for your tires is another great way to ensure you’re maintaining efficient performance.
- Close your windows: Improving your aerodynamics is a quick way to get a fuel boost. When you’re cruising down the highway, make sure to put your windows up to help eliminate drag and stay away from the pump longer.
