EdgeGermany Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Hello, I am already reading this forum since July. This week my 2011 Ford Edge Sport AWD arrived in Munich. It is fun to drive this car here, because no one knows the car. Every day someone asks me what kind of car this is. ("Is this the new Ford?") :-) Well, to attach the license plates I drove to a Ford dealer next to me and asked for help. You see that I have have license plates on both ends of the car in Germany. Again, every one was looking at the Edge when I arrived. I explained, that this is a Ford and I am here at a Ford dealer, so what's the matter? :-) After two days of driving (city and German Autobahn) I got 22mpg. I can't wait for tomorrow, because we will do a road trip to Leipzig (a City in east Germany) and Berlin. Best regards, Rene Edited November 10, 2011 by EdgeGermany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks good. Glad you finally have it in your possession. I was in Munich, back in 1993. Beautiful part of the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozennuts Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Could I be the only Ford Edge owner in Finland? Have been in Canada for 3 years and just returned with my Edge. Just changed engine calibration using a Max Energy Power Programmer from Hypertech as the Edge is calibrated to run on 87 AKE (equal to 92RON in Europe) and standard fuel here is 95RON. Calibration changed to Premium 92 AKE (about the same as 95RON) and fuel consumption has improved. The Hypertech also allows to removal of the speed limiter which may be of interest for those of you in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2011 Edge Sport FWD and we get anywhere in between 9/11 liters /100 km (25/27 MPG,either on gas/petrol or LPG,regards Ivan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, regardless of the mileage you're getting, that's still a nice looking Sport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozennuts Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well, regardless of the mileage you're getting, that's still a nice looking Sport! Have been running on E95 10% ethanol since arriving in Finland and after adding the Hypertech calibration for "premium fuel", fuel consumption dropped about 2 l/100. Does not seem much but around town driving I was at 16 l/100 and now 14 l/100 and on a run at 100 km/h I am at 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
