Just got my Edge
What level should I run my Edge on. I dont want to use 93 octane as it is so expensive right now. I take it the only logical level is 2 (Tow) since 1 does nothing to the motor, but only transmission tuning.
Is there any effect to running level 2 (Tow) all the time. I am looking for MPG increase. I CAN keep my foot out of it.

ifyou do not want to run 93 octane, then DO NOT run level 3 !! you will detonate, and could grenade your engine. level 1 and 2 are both set up to run on 87 octane. i have not ran level 1 yet, but i run level 2 all the time. you can go into the settings, and customize shift points, shift firmness, tire size, etc. they claim to have a MPG increase, but most of us get too much fun out of the lead foot syndrome, so i couldnt tell you personally. if you run level 2, you will notice a difference.

i tried level 2 when i towed my trailer with my jeep on it. i did not see any difference over the stock setting.
only thing i noticed was my mileage, it was worse with level 2 then stock.
level 2 i was getting 9mpg average according to the edge unit
level 0 i was getting 13mpg average according to the edge unit

I run level two all the time.
the only thing I do to the level 2 tune is I dial back my timing a half-degree. I did that as I was getting just a little bit of detonation at higher RPM with gas from a few different gas-stations. So I cranked back a bit on my timing and no more pinging.
Level one is transmission shift only....level two actually does some stuff with the engine to give a few extra horses, but not that much.
I have ran level three on mine and there is a VERY noticable difference in the truck. differences between one and two aren't large, however.

Finally got around to installing a Edge tune. All I can say is WOW!. I started on level 2 then went and bought some STP octane booster and poured that in the tank and turned it on level 3. I put the octane booster in because i had a pretty full tank of regular. DO you think that was OK to do?
Why dosent Ford make the truck like this from the factory!
