fuel mileage with Edge EZ

My truck seems to get better fuel mileage with the Edge on setting three than on setting one. Its seems logical that it would get better mpg on the
mildest setting not the most aggressive setting.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Quite the opposite for me, well sorta.

I have the EDGE EZ and keep it set on three (65hp & 180fpt), although I have run the other two settings occasionally to check out the fuel economy. What I have found, IMO (my driving habits), is the mileage for me suffered a little, maybe a mile per gallon at most on any of the settings, but really enjoy the performance difference in performance toworry about it too much.

I guess all trucks, incorporating driving habits seem to differ from one another. Either way I am pleased and have no issues sacrificing the mileage a little. I mostly ride my bike for daily commuting (Kawasaki Concours ZG1000) if weather permits anyway so it counterbalances the difference to me.

I am glad to hear that your mileage is better with than without, keep on truckin'

the truck is makin more power, so it takes less horsepower and grunt to get the truck up to speed. You'll see a MPG increase if you can keep your foot out of it.
