I thought I would post regarding my past 6000 miles with the Edge. I'm very happy with level 2, and 91 fuel. I have been getting a consistent 14/15 around town, and 17/19 highway. I took a trip up the coast last weekend and went 574 miles. I was cruising between 70 and 80 on the freeway, and did about 20% surface streets w/traffic. I averaged 18.9 mpg overall........I'm pleased with both the driveability, and the milage.

I have had similar results. I run the level 3 with 93 octane and the savings over stock with 87 more than pays the extra 20 cents a gallon.

 

well how bout lvl 2 with 87?

 

I tried level 2 about 10 miles, then went back to level 3. It is just too much fun.

 

Ive been doing a lot of reading on the Edge, and I want one, but I was wondering about mileage. Glad I saw this thread. But I get that mileage now, and my truck is stock not counting my magnaflow.

I have some thinking to do.

 

The Edge increased my mileage about 1/2 mile per gallon. Not enough to give it much thought. However, that is with me jumping on it a lot more often, so I assume I could do better if that were my goal.

 

I had contemplated the Edge at one time, but only for a MPG increase. I could care less about HP increase (got the Stang for fun). I just couldn't come to grips with paying extra for premium fuel to get any MPG gain. Then factor in the $300 for the part and instead of calling it a wash (in terms of MPG, not HP) it's actually a loss in pure monetary terms.

 

Although I've only run two tanks of gas through my truck on lvl 2 with 91 octane fuel, I haven't seen any improvement in gas mileage. In fact, I'd say it has gotten worse by about a .5 mpg. I drive about 85% highway and typical fuel mileage is around 14.5. I've got the 5.4, 3.73LS.

 

I have the 5.4, 3.55, 4x2 and get 19.2 to 19.4, driving too fast.

 

I'd pay the price all over again just for the driveability. I've had (and still have) a lot of fast cars and motorcycles.........this is a 6,000 lb truck, with a doggy state of tune. It needed the help!

 

absolutely!

 

Winter fuel is right around the corner -- if not already in place. Prepare to see a 1 to 4 MPG drop.

 

what about the edge with intake and exhaust?

 

Just for the drivability???? WTH does that mean? Was there something wrong with your truck to begin with? Drivability issues are why I went with a stick in my Mustang (so I could drive it on the street). Drivability issues are having a vacuum reservoir so you can run power brakes. I can't possibly imagine what sort of drivability issues one would have on a new vehicle that would warrant the Edge. Please enlighten me.

 

I'd say throttle response, acceleration off the bottom, transmission shift points, both up and down, ability to pull a gear with out shifting in and out (on a hill or towing). The Edge, (Or any other re-programmer for that matter) optimizes the fuel and advance curves to enhance performance. The stock programming (Even with a reflash) is lethargic, and the shift points are vague, and too early (matter of taste). The Edge allows you to select a state of tune that suits your preferences.......
