What is your Edge set on. I see from your Gallery you are a 4x2. What are all of your mods, and Edge Settings?

Level 3 with custom settings and I run 93 octane. I have a 5.4 4x2 with 3:55's. I have a K/N drop in and a Roush Off road exhaust.

I have the settings written down somewhere. I'll post them later......

I was getting 14.5 - 15MPG in WA got the EDGE went up to 17.5 but after filling up back down to 14.0ish Cruse @ 75MPH on I-5 -- I am guessing it has to do with the gas in the area..

For everyone that has posted so far, the MPG that you are posting is that an actual calculation or is that going by the Edge or the trucks trip computer? I calculate on thing, edge says another and the truck says another.

My manual calculations and the EDGE numbers have always been within a tenth or two of each other.

What the hell. The edge said 15.4 and I calculated 13.3, way off. Maybe there is something wrong with my edge. How long is the warranty on the edge? My trucks trip was within a few tenth's.

The Edge "Average MPG" doesn't base it off of a full tank of gas, just probably the last 100 miles or so.
And when I added an edge to my F-150, my MPG went up running level 3 with 93 octane and the timing bumped up.

Maybe I need to fill up with 93 and run Level 3 on the next Fill up. How much should I bump up the timing? Right now in Level 2 with 87 octane I have it at +.5.

figured out my drop in mpg!

I feel like an idiot. My mpg dropped when it was really cold out a couple of weeks ago, why??? Because when I get to work I'm usually early and most of my coworkers show up late, when it's nice out I get out my truck and talk with people as they show up...but...when it's cold out, I sit in my truck with the engine and the heat on, sometimes for up to an hour. I noticed that as I was sitting there, the AVERAGE mpg was dropping a tenth every few minutes and it takes a lot of highway driving to get that AVERAGE back up to normal, which is where it is at right now. Hope this info might help any of you, maybe some of you are doing city driving, if so, sitting at a stop light will kill your ampg on the edge.

LOL! That must be on them long, flat Alberta highways eh?
Best i could get driving my '03/4.6 up from Vancouver was ~19.5 Avg. Any long hill just kills the MPG.
