Thanks for an honest reply!!! At least I'm not the only one. Are you seeing that kind of mileage while running with the Edge EZ active or on setting 1?

I run the EZ on 4 all the time. The biggest gain I saw with the EZ was milage when towing, empty not anything huge, maybe .5-1.

Running around in my dually empty back and forth to work I get around 15-16.

If I set off on a long trip running 60mph or so I can get 18-19.

Get on the freeway and run 65-70 and it goes down to the 16 area.

Start runnin 75-80 and you see 14-15. Theese are all empty of course.

The only real milage I have checked pulling is with the big 40' trialer running around 31,000# gross. On a 500 mile trip that was all 55-60 roads I got around 9 if I remember right.

Also same trailer with 2 cars on it goin down the freeway about 70 I saw 10-11, weighed less with 2 cars vrs 2 big trucks of couse, less wind also.

Thanks again for the straight answers regarding mileage. I just ordered the roof wing and VA pressure box. We'll see how she pulls after that.
