I used BP one time on my way to FL pulling the toy hauler and it was the worst MPG's i got... So ford can take that statement back... I have been runing my edge on level 2 most of the winter as i have been towing the trailer... But every once in awhile i will bump it up to 3 and i seam to get a little better mpg's.

Google "Power Hungry Performance."

So far, I'm luvin' it! The roads have been too wet or snowy to do much performance testing, but in the few opportunities I've had, the butt dyno can feel a difference.

I would be happy if mine would just get over 10 MPG down hill.. But. I guess the weight of the crap in the 2 side tool boxes and the full depth contractors box in the front of the bed, and all of them so full of tools it is hard to find room for another screw driver don't help.. Oh well.....
