WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Imperial gallon measurement nets 30.9 mpg approx, while in the US, that would be about 25.7 mpg, still very very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Highway figures have enormous variability, so do city ones. Beyond Octane, car mileage and speed, here are a few other parameters: - how many times have you accelerated to pass another car? - how aggressive are you at doing so? - was the road fairly flat or hilly? - how bad was the head wind? - how many slow up's then resume's because of Sunday drivers or traffic swarms? - what was the total weight during the trip (driver only, family, luggage...) ? - gas tank full most of the time? - tire pressure? - tire thread (winter, summer, 4 season, high speed) - what was the average outside temperature during the trip? - cruise or not? - AC on or not - side and/or panoramic roof open? What I tend to check is instant consumption on a flat straight road at my regular cruising speed (120km/h or 75m/h); even then I take it with a grain of salt. The reason for that is that my biggest surprise was looking at my outrageous consumption over time that included a 40 minute stand still during a Sync update.

cds71 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Cv27.....yes I would totally agree....I was pleasantly surprised that our edge sport gets just as good of mpg as our fwd pontiac torrent....which produces 185 hp....this was calculated over 4 months of gas consumption.

Brad Luczak Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) '15 AWD Sport (2.7L V6) 20" rims with 1200 miles on it. Always filled with 93 octane. Have never reset Trip 2 since it was new. Shows 18.9 mpg per computer. 90% city driving with the AC on all the time in the seats and mostly in the cabin. Pedal to the floor at most lights and If I'm getting on the freeway I'm hitting 80 halfway up the on ramp. Thats why I bought a Sport. If i wanted MPG i would have bought a SEL or Titanium with a little motor. Edited October 28, 2015 by Brad Luczak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Checked this morning and I'm averaging just under 20mpg around town. Not much, if any, highway miles. Edge Sport 2.7L Edited October 28, 2015 by WingNut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
