What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford Edge

Ford Edge Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The V6 gets good fuel economy. I have had the Edge for 13 months and have a overall average of 22 mpg. I am able to obtain the 27 mpg on the highway at 70 mph, more than that it does start to drop. Does not need premium gasoline. see full Ford Edge review
2008	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Decent economy considering size of vehicle and weight. see full Ford Edge review
2008	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Better than a V8 Aviator see full Ford Edge review
2007	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Considering this is an SUV/Crossover... the gas mileage is really good. I am a fast driver who tests the limits of my vehicle and I still average 18 mpg in the city and have had up to 25-26 mpg during long road trips (If I keep my lead foot in check). see full Ford Edge review
2007	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Very good considering it;s size see full Ford Edge review

2008	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic AWD	It is only average overall. A hybrid or better still a hydrogen fuel cell version would be better. see full Ford Edge review
2007	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic AWD	Can be low in stop and go traffic, does well on highways up to 70mph, drops off a bit quickly after that see full Ford Edge review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gets original rating of 25/30 MPG. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	On a recent trip from Charlottetown, PE, Canada to Halifax, NS my car averaged 35 miles per US gallon, or over 730km per tank of fuel. As a Merchandiser, my job requires a lot of city Driving and I average 600km per tank of gas see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	A turbo sedan that got me 35mpg all-highway, and gets 28+ in mixed driving. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great fuel economy my first tank was 28mpg, my second one with my cold air intake installed got it over 30! see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The car does get excellent fuel economy- IF you can keep your foot out of it. I rarely succeed in that endeavor- the car is just too much fun to drive, the embodiment of "driving a slow car, fast." see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great fuel efficiency but still retains a lot of pep and zip. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not too bad, the roof rack hurts it a bit. gets a solid 22-25 driving 70-75 on highway. Does get 30mpg at 60 mph, but that speed will get you killed on California interstates. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	ave 30 mpg+ see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I average right around 30mpg with mixed driving, a little highway-biased. I've been satisfied with the overall gas mileage. see full Mazda Protege review
2002	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	30+ mpg highway. 28 city. Not too shabby. see full Mazda Protege review

Mazda Protege Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Suburban fuel economy is acceptable, at nearly 30 mpg. But on the highway, with the engine spinning well over 3,000 rpm, fuel economy also struggles to crack 30. Many much larger, much more powerful cars achieve better highway fuel economy. Some owners have fitted the fifth gear from the related transmission in the Mazda6 to get more of an overdrive. see full Mazda Protege review
2003	4dr Wagon 130-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	not good for a small 4 cyl. i have had better economy on the same roads with bigger and simmilar cars see full Mazda Protege review
