KAL Cmax

One of my best trips. Took it nice and easy on the Highway around 65 mph with cruise. Still on 3.5.1, I haven't tried to update yet.

Looks great SDM, wish I could use this.

Here is a trip with changing elevation, ECO cruise was set at 68 mph. Trip was from Boston Massachusetts to York Maine.

I picked the medium size tumbler cups up at Target.

I Did post the pictures after he mentioned proof.

So I was driving all over New England this weekend doing 75 most the time do to time constraints. With the car loaded with 4 adults and gear at about 300 lbs I averaged 42 mpg. Easy math 400 miles @ 40 mpg * $4.00 gallon = $40 in gas. If we had taken the Murano @ 20 mpg = $80 in gas. I saved $40 in gas with the AC on since it's in the 90s this holiday weekend. Everyone was comfortable for the trip too. I couldn't be happier with the mpg, although going that fast was killing me on the inside, watching my tank average of 49 mpg dropping down once we hit the highway. He pics for one leg of the trip Laconia to Boston using Google tracks.

If you are in neutral you do not have any regen at all. The reason we have to give it some gas downhill is to "bypass/disengage" the regen stage. The C-Max automatically regens when you let off the gas.

You probably had semisynthetic oil, I don't believe Ford/Quicklane uses conventional 5W20 or 5W30 normally.

Massachusetts lemon law is 3 dealership attempts and 1 Ford attempt. I hope they can fix my emission code so I don't have to do it either.

Like - Power/handling Dislike - No factory tint option

SDM, I usually rotate @ 10k every other oil change @ 5k on my vehicles with minimal issues. Doing a rotation @ 5k is probably recommended but I pay for it now (Oil changes and rotations). My justification is I expect 50k out of the tires. 10 rotations @ $25 = $250 5 rotations @ $25 = $125 So for me to save a $125 in 2 years on tires is worth it. Living in New England your end up getting tires early for the winter sometimes too. Not to mention the time you lose just for a rotation.

Last I heard in Massachusetts they plan on upping the state tax $0.03 and track it with inflation.

No issues so far other than a system maintenance message when getting it home. That was after phone and USB music drive install. My check engine light did come back on though for the P043E code, so it is scheduled to go back Tuesday... I did lose 3 mpg to that tank of gas for the service and update. 45 mpg is still better than 25 mpg, I wonder what my next loaner car is going to be. Hopefully Ford can help out the tech more, EVAP codes are a nightmare to chase down.

I would love to pay $47. A usual oil change costs $35 (semisynthetic) and $25 for the tire rotation plus tax and waste disposal. It comes out to almost $70 when it's all said and done. The Quicklane service guys know me since I bring everything to them now and throw in a deal here and there. The fixed a flat for free in my Murano last week.

Is it a full size spare and matching rim? If you rotate at 5k it won't matter where it goes, as long long as your taking the proper tire out of rotation. I wouldn't recommend 10k for a rotation if this is what you plan on doing. If you don't have a spare rim, it wouldn't be a cost effective approach to extend your tire life. I would save it and use it if needed. Then only by 3 new tires the next round.
