Took a recent trip down to Southern Ohio & back. Made it there & back on 1 tank 381 miles on winter mix fuel & around 75mph. Car said i averaged 27mpg, actual calculation was 25.8 on 14.77 gallons. Not too snabby. I gained a lot when speeds were below 65. The 2nd pic of the computer was before i drove from home to the gas station.

Wasn't saying that you needed to increase the octane, just that maybe if you use 1 particular station, to maybe switch it up to one that is a top tier. The particular gas station that you use could have gotten a bad batch or their tanks could have been contaminated. Just saying that you may want to switch it up. Increasing the octane 'may' help as it does adjust the timing & definitely worth a shot. If it does, I'd be interested to know if the gas station(s) you're using aren't using a quality fuel source & are getting sub par fuel which might be causing your rough idle

What kind of fuel are you using? The Ecoboost is more picky than others. Maybe try a top teir gas station for a few tanks

welp, it won't allow me to send you a PM. Says you're not allowed to receive any more PM's. Hopefully you'll see this.

Ordered the fronts off & they were pretty easy, installed both in under 30 minutes. I do not like how they have 3 metal clips holding the tips of the splash guards in place. Seems like they could rust & fall off & puncture a tire. Jason, I'll send you a PM

If you're driving all highway, i noticed that if there's no headwind or hilly sections, i can get closer to 30mpg or higher. Too much pass 65mph & my fuel economy tanks, barely getting passed 25-26mpg. Planning ahead for stops & acceleration really help. Remember at stop lights you're getting 0mpg & accelerating you get far worse mpg than cruising. Anytime you're accelerating at highway speeds, you're more than likely generating boost & using more fuel. Also using the A/C will zap a few mpg's/kpl's as well.

Try browsing through these: http://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/edge/2016?engineconfig_id=13&bodytype_id=&submodel_id= If your engine is new, there is a break in period, i believe it even says so in the manual. I think it's around 5,000 miles, could be wrong on that. It basically states that your gas mileage is going to be all over the place for the first few thousand miles until the engine breaks in & the car learns your driving habits, like transmission shift points. Currently, i average around 25 mpg or 10.6286 kpl. My average miles per tank is 318.9 or 513.2198 kilometers per tank. Also i don't know if they change your fuel properties up there or not, but I've noticed about a 3 mpg drop since the fuel has switched to winter blend. I'm also fwd so my stats are going to be slightly better than yours anyways because i don't have the rear drivetrain to worry about.

Could also be a wheel bearing. Only noticeable when you but a load by turning a certain way.

I might snatch these up. Are they a pretty straight forward install? Did the front fit on your edge nicely? Do you have pics of the fronts installed? I did a quick google search & didn't find anything but just stand alone pics

Compressed air = hot air, regardless of where you fill it up at. Just remember to check your pressures after you drive around for about 15 minutes or so, i keep the fronts around 37 & the rears around 38.

I guess it's all in how you drive? We have the 2.0 Ecoboost FWD & we're averaging around 25 mpg. Now on winter mix fuel, we're struggling to get 23. If I am the primary driver, there's no issue getting 28 mpg or higher all highway. Most 3.5 V6's that I've seen, average around 18-20 mpg depending on driving habits/conditions & fwd/awd options. Mostly highway, you'll get around 20-22,mostly city, you'll get around 16-18.

A lot of your 'issues' can be resolved with forscan. Double honk, global close/open, climate control on the instrument panel, heated steering wheel option (i know that there's something that forscan can do, but i don't have a heated steering wheel, so i can't say specifically). Also there's a button on my overhead console that allows the interior lights to stay off when the door is opened at night.

5% Window Tint fixes the frying issue I didn't want it, but the wife did, guess who won? We usually just have the blind back or we have the roof tilted, we rarely have it completely open. Decent option, but very subjective.

http://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/edge/2008 http://www.fuelly.com/car/ford/edge/2007 Our 2016 FWD SEL 2.0 Ecoboost averages around 25. The mpg gauge on the car can be off around 1-2 mpg. As said earlier, it depends on when you reset your gauge too

I had an 06 Mazda 6 that was a pain to get to the low beam bulb. You could do it without removing the headlight if you had tiny hands, but it's a pain. Easiest thing to do was to remove the headlight, which involved removing the whole front bumper.

PM's received & replied. I have a set of liners in my CX7 & like them a lot. I don't know why the OEM's only protect a small area directly under the pedals. I ended up using the oem all weathers & a original carpet mat to protect the areas that it doesn't cover.

Dibs. I'll be in the Cleveland area tomorrow, but i live in Lorain County I'm assuming that these are just the fronts, which is fine. Do they cover the pretty good? The oem all weathers are eh. I know my other weathertechs in other cars were fine

Last noise we had was someone sat in the back seat & the seat belt was twisted & kinda was rattling/rubbing against the door rear panel. Not saying that it's your problem but it took us awhile to track the noise down

No need to remove the headlight. The bulb comes out with a rubber cover protector & a twist. Then remove the bulb from the connector. Should only take a minute or 2 to remove the bulb from the headlight & connector

Awesome, thanks. I'd imagine that the Long Life Bulbs don't put out what is posted above, but that's still a drastic improvement

Yes for months, no issues other than brighter more usable light. The tips of the stock h11 bulbs have a coating on it that doesn't put out nearly as much light as the H9's. The H9's don't have the coating & produce more light. I'd be interested to see what the lumen ratings are between the two. The stock bulbs are also Long Life so they also don't put out nearly as much light as a normal H11 Are they comparable to HID's? No. But they are a lot cheaper & with a few modifications, fit into the stock housing. Best mod for the money!

They had to train them to the car, but advised me that going back to the original wheel, would require them to be reprogrammed. But shouldn't be too difficult to do. I believe that our edge was picking up on my cx7 TPMS sensors while sitting overnight. It wouldn't pick up on them if it was parked next to it for a few hours only if it sat overnight, & even then, not all the time. If it wasn't supposed to snow this weekend, I'd take her original wheels & try it out. I am also curious on how long the car will take to learn the 'new' sensors or if i can force it with the relearn procedure.

Turns out that there must be a difference between the 2015's & 2016's. Sensors replaced with different new ones & sync'd up no problem. Old TPMS part # reads DE8T-1A180-AA a quick search on TPMS.com indicates its for a 2014 http://www.tpms.com/2014_Ford_TPMS_s/6545.htm So, does anyone want to buy some genuine OEM Ford TPMS sensors?

I just realized that my cx7 is right next to the edge. Wondering if it's picking up on those sensors
