That reviewer who bemoaned the Energi's periodic use of the ICE in EV mode is missing the practical point behind EVs and hybrids. It's to reduce my use of fossil fuels, which my C-Max Energi's 65mpg lifetime average has accomplished. The point isn't to rack up as many EV miles as you can, for purity or piety's sake. Did the writer realize that when the ICE "fires up" for engine braking, there's no fire? Fuel is cut off while the engine pumps air against its own compression.

RIP MyFordMobile

And I guess today was the day it stops working, the MFM app now says "application decommissioned" and the myfordmobile.com website is down. I'm surprised. I didn't expect Ford to kill the app like that, I just expected things to stop working when the 3g towers were turned off. That's annoying.
