TIPPY

I reset all my info with every fill up. Although when the wife is using it, I can honestly say she doesn't. That said, it doesn't matter, we still don't get the mileage some of you folks get. Like I said, it has 12,000+ miles on it since Oct-Nov 07, so it's NOT a case of break in. BUT i'll be totally honest, the looks, ride and comfort has won us over. I can handle this mileage any :D day vs. my 10-12mpg's my 02 F150 Screw is getting with 39.5" tires is getting.

Blueice, I agree. Driving style is one thing, but when it comes to advertised mpg's, all the manufacturers never seem to be on the money. This vehicle has almost 10,000 highway miles, and never once have I gotten over 350-360 miles out of a tank......oh well, just time to suck it up and live with it. Still a great vehicle.

Maybe one of you employees can explain to me why on earth you use these "cheesey" plastic overlays on these 20" wheels? My 04 Exploder Limited had cheap tin covers over the wheels to make them chrome, now your using a plastic cover which is glued on top. OK, I also understand cost savings involved here. But, if someone is to hit a curb, and just peels the outer chrome off the plastic, then why not offer a replacement cover instead of having to shell out over 500 dollars for a new wheel when it's just the cover that is damaged? That's my beef

After 12,000 miles, it's broken in. Been in the Auto business all my life, and there was never a dramatic difference in mileage after a vehicle reaches a certain "mile marker". Yes, oil consumption is one thing, but gas mileage is another. I highly doubt this vehicle will ever get the as advertised fuel mileage. They never do. But like I said earlier, ride and comfort is great, just not stoked about the mileage, thought it would be better than my old V8 Exploder....

New guy here. Got my wife an 08 last Nov. to date 12,250 miles on it. Very happy with both ride and space. Got out of an 04 Exploder Limited w/V8 AWD into this 08 Limited AWD, and power is right there, and the Edge has more room between drivers and backseat has more room for the kids too. Have a very easy all highway commute of 50 miles roundtrip a day and have yet to see over 18mpg's. Yes, 2 different drivers, 2 different styles of driving. While I like to cruise above the speed limit, the wife is content just keeping with traffic. Thought it would be a bit better, Explorer was about the same. Either way, we are happy with it, with one exception, the Sync system. But i'll save it for another thread.
