You didn't say how far you drive home, for short distances less than 10 miles the SOC of the HVB. On my 7 miles trip home SOC of HVB makes up to 10 mpg difference and the WT can make up to another 5 mpg. :) Paul

Interesting that I didn't notice any real change in FE(actually it looked like I was getting better) when my Trans was bad. :headscratch: And it didn't improve when I got the new Trans. :) Paul

What Goodyear's do you have, Fuel Max? Just to say it again I got 64k mi. out of two sets of OE Michelin's which they went through bad snow and rain storms! :) All the tire tests say they are the best for FE. Paul

I'm surprised that the tires don't rub. Michelin 225-50/17 Dia. 25.9"/ Width 8.2", weight 22 lbs. I looked at the Michelin 225-65/17, Dia. 27.3" and with the wheels turned it looked like it would rub on wheel wells and fender. :sad: Contenntial 235-55/17 Dia. 27.2"/ Width 7.7", weight 24 lbs / ODO and speedometer could be off by 5%. Check with GPS to find out and keep us posted on how they workout. :) Paul

Well it's time to winterize your CMAX to improve MPG's(4-6MPG's) and get the heater to work quicker. GO TO First POST of this thread to get all the details. :) Paul

I think unless you do alot of City driving like a Cab, It seems to me they should last 300k-400k miles. IMO At 139k mi. not much wear. :) Paul

I looked through OM and didn't see anything on Fuel injector Cleaner/Octane Booster. My FE improves after using it, I have 138K mi.and My BlackStone Labs Oil analyst looks great! :yahoo: My FE keeps on getting better too. :) Paul

Yes, That was for Drum Brakes. :) Paul

I guess a poor attempt at being funny. That's seems reasonable to me, I wouldn't go out of my way to do it, but if I was going downhill I'd do it. :) You could also do it using Neutral for stopping at stop lights/signs during your regular driving, it shouldn't take much and it doesn't need to be perfect. Good Luck. :) Paul

Yes, just waist of electrons/gas. :) Paul

Looks Like you made it. :yahoo: Congratulations! :happy feet: Next time 50psi and Premium E10 93octane gas "Cheaper" than E0 and almost as good. You can always add NOS Octane Booster from Walmart to boost Octane and clean injectors. :) You could make it to 700 miles. Grill Covers? Paul

Ditto too! :) Paul

Fuelly only has 29 Sonata Hybrids listed and it's about 41mpg's. Not a very big sample. :) Paul

Does that mean that there isn't much acceleration in EV Mode? :) Paul

It will be interesting to see your long term FE turns out to be. :) Paul

The Prius the ICE runs most of the time, CMAX wants to run EV when it can. :) Paul

I'm guessing you drive less than 500 miles a month. :) Paul

It will be interesting to see what kind of MPG's she get. :) Does it have an aggressive EV or more like Prius? Paul

Good for you. :lol: And do you have 137k miles on your Odometer? :shift: :) Paul

And Gas is CHEAP! YA! :yahoo: It is nice to go for a weekend all over the place and spend $40 on gas. :shift: :) Paul

As far as the CMAX goes NRG's are flat and Hybrids are down. :sad: Also total Plugin sales for all brands are down from last year. Paul

This is what happens when you don't advertise your product. :sad: Paul

I want to see the inflatable boat tail. :) Paul

This was quick, getting a new record tank miles speeds up the time it takes to get New Life Time record of 48.4 MPG. :yahoo: Paul

That is my thought too. :) Paul
