On our recent trip we took the highway. Highway speed at the highest was 55. So, yes, the cmax is very capable of doing 47 on the highway. On the trip, 81 miles round trip, I was able to get 42mpg. My car had under 700 miles. So take a trip on the HIGHWAY, enjoy the scenery and get excellent mpg. Everyone is always in a hurry. I will trade a little time going a slower speed to save some $ on gas. Give it a try.

I test drove both and went with the SEL. But that's my preference. The SEL came with options I wanted.

My daughter bubbled and peeled in her used car. Then again, it looked like a homemade job gone bad. If you get it professionally done I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I didn't know this was an option. Hmmm interesting.

Ohoo. To see one before you have one only makes the wait longer!

In the south, every drink is a coke. Then you specify. You want a coke? Yes, get me a dr pepper please. We also "get down" at the gas station. You getting down? Or you want me to get you a coke? What kind? My northern friends still talk about "the little guy". The little guy is the worker behind the register or the bar The lil guy gave me too much change. The lil guy made me an awesome drink! Every trip we took my friends declared who was the little guy for that trip.

We love texting too.

Hatchman, that looks sharp! Can you come do mine now?

Roll a window down, sometimes we "crack" it, we call people.

You have to remember that is your average overall. So if you really sucked at first and then improved that number doesn't reflect your current average.

Hahahaha. Well, we aren't THAT dramatic. :)

I was parking the car and wanted to back up to straighten out. My dad walked up and stood behind me. He thought the car was off. Thankfully I have rear camera and saw him on the screen.

The wedding was beautiful! I will have to check with dad as to his "scores" 81.1 miles 25.5EV 42.3 MPG 1.92 gal Temps were low 60s. I am pleased! This as on the highway. I did 55 max on the way and 60 max on the way home. Beautiful drive. Used the ac on the way there because it was stuffy in the car with just the vent.

Dad and I are taking the babies on a road trip to a wedding tonight. We are taking the highway. It will be interesting to see the difference in mpg. My car has 600+ miles. I think his has 200 now.

I am in lake Charles. It's on the other end of the state, closer to Texas. I am about 50 miles up from the gulf and 45 miles from Texas :). Mardi gras is big here too. Glad you had fun!

Cassy! Won't be much longer now! How exciting. The wait is almost over!

Ask away! We love talking about our cars.

Love my baby. Love my lil car. I am sure friends are tired of hearing it. :). I never could get use to the garmin gps. But this car? Easy peasy. I changed my settings to avoid highways how cool is that? now I am set to attend the wedding tomorrow night. I am taking the scenic route :). I stopped and programmed dads car. He LOVES his car too.

Snowstorm. The wait is very hard but it's so worth it. It's two weeks since I brought my baby home. Stopped by my parents. Dad has a cmax also. He jokingly said he was going to buy my mom one so they could have his and hers. He said he would not order again. The wait was too hard hahahaha

Congrats and welcome!

Good food and good times!

Hopefully he checks in soon.

Yeah!! Enjoy the ride! It's much better when you are saving. :)
