Todd Richert Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 2012 Edge Limited w/ Ecoboost - this car is supposed to have a 18.xx gallon fuel tank. I can not get more then 14 in the tank, I have driven it down to 5 miles left. I took it into the dealership and all they say is 'oh it has a 3 gallon reserve or so' I call BS .. no car has a 20% reserve thats absurd. Anyone else with this issue ?

Cellbine Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Im in the same boat as you and have gone through your thought process, but the reserve makes sense to me. I'm always putting in about 14 gallons when I have around 50 miles left on the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgegirl56 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Same exact experience here. Am having to fill up more often but I still love my Edge:) :hyper: How about the virtual gas cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjd3 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 My last fill up stated I had about 10 miles until I had to push (uphill probably), and I was able to get 17.5 gallons in the tank (the trip computer stated I used 17.23). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezer Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 The owner’s manual for my 2011 AWD lists the tank capacity at 19.2 gal. I’m frequently able to fill the tank with 18.5 gals. My last fill-up was 18.95 gals. If it’s really 19.2 gal., that’s cutting it way too close. On that occasion, I drove it about 5-10 miles beyond the “0 miles to empty” indication.

e350 coupe Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Personally, I think there is something wrong with their filling system. I fill my tank on slow and when I drive away it goes from just slightly over the fill mark to about 7/8ths in about 5 clicks. I have mentioned this numerous times to the service dealer but all I get is "no codes found" I can keep topping of the tank ever so slowly after it clicks off and I am able to add about 3-4 gallons extra. Yesterday I was down to about 20 miles left and I was only able to put 16.2 gallons in it, so where is the other 3 gallons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) and how many gallons did the trip screen say you used prior to filling? Edited June 3, 2012 by c_bova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnkirstin Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Pushed it ever, ever so hard a few weeks back (just now found this post). Hopped OFF the freeway into the station... 19.1 gallons. 830 at night. The desert. My wife was not happy. Thus... I tend to agree with the 19.2 gallon figure... I was WAYYYYY past the 0 miles left mark. Just an FYI. I knew I had about 50 miles when I hit the zero mark... as I've pressed it a few times. I chose to push it that evening.

jeffcarl Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 2013 SEL 3.5 L; had the car since late December '14, so not a long time. The most fuel it has taken at one filling was 19.8 gallons (honest). I was very surprised at the 19.8. The next highest amount was 19.3 gallons. I have to milk in the last few gallons, like others have said it can be a slow-go for the last few. I'm usually putting in 16 or 17 gallons. My weekday commute is about 100 miles, so I get to gas up pretty often. Love the car so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
