Yes, but I think the point is that after Ford's adjusted EPA numbers, the fuel savings $ were a lot less than a prospective buyer would have expected to see from original numbers. So, they would buy a Prius or Honda Insight and enjoy more FE savings and avoid the negatives of the C-Max at that time (read JD Power and Consumer Report customers' ratings / satisfaction surveys at that time) - points 2 and 3 in my previous post. I doubt most consumers actually test drove a C-Max after the correct numbers in mid 2014. So, a prospective consumer would likely pick the Prius / Insight. IMO, the C-Max looses in MPG but the driving experience of the C-Max far exceeds the Prius and Insight at that time. I test drove a Prius models for several years prior to buying the C-Max hoping that the driver experience of a Prius would change. It never did and I bought the C-Max. And of course, Ford did little to change the perception of the C-Max to the consumer after the correct numbers. How does Ford now change consumer perception that one should forget about FE comparisons and base ones buying decision on it's a better car than the Prius V in virtually all other aspects but FE. Ford initial attack / marketing campaign of beating the Prius in FE with clever ads / commercials is at fault not declining gas prices.

Use the funnel located under the lift up cover in the hatch area on the left side to add gas/ additives.

I think this is standard on many cars, I can think of two reasons.....first, they might use the vent at the windshield as the "input" for the recirculate. But even more important, I think most cars turn on the AC a little to dehumidify the air pointed at the windshield so that if the windshield is cold it does not frost or fog up there. Causing frost or fog on the windshield would be a safety issue, so they dehumidify the air when it is pushed onto the windshield.
