<br />
The 3.5-liter V6 edition of the revamped <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/edge">2011 Ford Edge</a> has finally received its official fuel mileage ratings from the EPA, and like its more luxurious <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mkx">Lincoln MKX</a> sibling, it has topped its class. The Edge is ranked at 19 miles per gallon on the urban drive cycle and 27 mpg on the highway. That's a tick better on the highway than the MKX with its 3.7-liter version of the V6. It's also 1 and 2 mpg better respectively than its chief domestic rival, the 3.0-liter V6 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/equinox">Chevrolet Equinox</a> - despite the fact that at 285 horsepower, the Ford engine is significantly more powerful (the 'Nox offers 264 hp). <br />
<br />
The big news that we are still waiting on is the ratings for the 2.0-liter Ecoboost engine. The four-cylinder Equinox is rated at an impressive 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Ford will have quite a challenge beating those figures, however, especially with an engine that is expected to produce about 45 more horsepower than the naturally aspirated engine in <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors</a>' crossover.
