I was at Galpin this afternoon to talk to my sales guy there - the CMax are a top seller along with the Fusion Hybrids. Lots and lots of Prii drivers are converting to the CMax as they love the drive. Not surprising. Now according to him, he said very few of the CMax buyers came back to him complaining about the lack of MPGs.

 

I asked if Galpin was one of those dealers who had a Prius there to compare against and he said no. I said they should, it would have been a deal closer, iimo - let 1st drive be a Prius and then BAM....be like going from a cold bowl of oatmeal to a Original Tommy's Chili Burger  :) .

 

Also, I showed him what I did today before I got to Galpin, a 70.4 mile trip around the San Fernando valley to Simi Valley and then drop down to Galpin and I got 54.6 MPGs and - get this - 40.8 miles were pure EV :wub2:  - that is 58% of this trip was gas free, hallelujah, bring on the fireworks, CA is going to go broke with less gas tax from me....yippee  :yahoo: 

 

As well, I test drove the Energi. Ice Storm and I think I  :wub2:  my Maxine better. Now, what was interesting was the Energi was NOT fully charged when I got my hands on it, so it had to behave like our hybrids. To me the Energi seemed less responsive and punchy in the engine, much like the same feel I had while driving the Fusion Hybrid. I have yet to get over the big hump in the back. Nonetheless, I would not say no to it either - that battery would have been awesome had it been fully charged but it was one that he pulled from the lot.

What's up with the green underscored *hot words) in the posts lately that take you to Infolinks? 

 

I clicked on one in the post thinking it would take me to something else Jus had written but it was just a commercial link. Above talk, hybrids, converting, and engines are like that. I've just seen them since yesterday.

 

Is this advertising space sold to support the site?

And the only word that I turned green was *green* in the original post, and later it became a link to infolinks....... along with advertising space and some other words.
