I usually average 16-18 mpg on my daily 100 mile round trip commute to work but the speed limit's are 65 and 55 mph and lower. If I set my cruise at 65mph in a 70 and on flat hwy I can get up to 19mpg. I have a 5.4 with 3.73 gear's. Not bad for a heavy 4x4 Screw.

I have my Edge set on level 2 (towing mode) and use the stock tunes. Only adjusted the speedometer settings. It hit's OD at about 50mph and goes into a "coma"! before 50mph she shift's real good even with the tall tires on. I need to get some custom tunes if I leave the 35's on. I have a spare set of 33" Toyo AT's I may be putting back on shortly to see how the truck pull's with the programmer. I've only used the Edge with the 35" tires.
